On Jan 17.2007 we had 2 inches of ice & snow on the ground in Benton,KS. I decided to take my "Snow Plane" out for a spin. The body is from a 1957 BMW Isetta & it's powered by a 1945 Lycoming aircraft engine rated at 190 HP. There is no transmission, only the 6 foot diameter wood prop to push the vehicle.
What fun!

On Jan. 16,2007 I had a surprise visitor. My neighbor bought a vintage Bell 47 helicopter recently. I have been trying for a week to get some good video of it. Today he demonstrated it for me in my own backyard. Thanks Mr. Clemens. What a machine!

I took my Isetta snow plane to Minnesota on Feb.17,07 to be part of an art Event on a frozen lake. I was scared as I drove onto the huge lake but was assured that with it frozen 2 feet thick so even a semi truck could drive on it. I gave rides to 25-30 people & did a live demonstration for Channel 4 news. What fun!

On June 18,2007 I gave some friends rides in my 1957 BMW Isetta powered by a 190 hp Lycoming airplane engine. Riders include Josh Keller,Jim Simmons,Scott & dog, David Crow and Nod.
This is my 1957 BMW Isetta. It came with a 13 hp 1 cylinder engine. That engine came out & was replaced with a 190 hp Lycoming 435 ci 6 cylinder aircraft engine. Now I can keep up with the other cars.

This was taken April 18,06, the first day I tested out my 1957 BMW Isetta powered by a 190 hp Lycoming aircraft engine. It rides on 3 wheels & has a 6 foot propeller. I have 3 skies that can be attached in 15 minutes for use on snow.
