The Air-Bike LS is the exact airplane designed by Wayne Ison in 1995. It is a light, sturdy
airplane with no bad habits. Ask anyone who has flown one!
Easy to build, inexpensive to complete and an absolute blast to fly. The Air-Bike is an
excellent first airplane to build from plans. Folding wings, brakes, wheelpants and
fiberglass wingtips are optional. Air-Bike pictured with all options weighs 320lbs.
