The rally is now over. Bob and Joe arrived to Gibraltar at noon on July 17th.

Bob: Would the Monkeys fly?

The Ultralight Flying Scooter site sells kit for making a Honda scooter an ultralight aircraft (powered parachute, actually).

 


For Just $3,975.00 you can get started in owning your own Ultralight Flying Scooter Flight Kit !!!

NO Pilot's License Required! Wouldn't you like to drive your 2006 Honda Ruckus scooter down the highway, then take it out to a flying field and make it fly like an airplane? With The Ultralight Flying Scooter Flight Kit you will be able to make your 2006 Honda Ruckus scooter fly and amaze everyone when you take-off!

Of course here in Finland it would need to be registered as experimental, and the pilot would need an Ultralight Pilot's License. But still, this would make the way to Gibraltar much smoother.

Who'll be the first monkey to conquer the skies?

Via Boing Boing.

Updated 7:39Z: found a Finnish intro on powered parachuting, Harrastuksena Moottorivarjoliidin.
