Re: flying with my mountain bike mounted in the back seat

Ive done three adults with three full size bicycles in my 180 numerous times. All wheels in the extended baggage and frames on the side that the jump seat is removed from. It's a little awkward with at least one wide handlebar end protruding in to the pilot/copilot zone, but doesn't compromise comfort once you are in. Two up, there is plenty of room for camping gear. Three up, not so much.

Hell yes! I've got a winters worth of reloading ready to go...

Actually, anyone who can land on my property in a fixed-wing gets a pass to do whatever the hell they want, 'cause they are a freaking god...or a bird.

Re: flying with my mountain bike mounted in the back seat

Let’s do it! I’ve flown 2 bikes in the 180 a fair amount. Same as others. Either wheels off upside down with camping gear packed around or flat with back seats out. Also may have rigged a front fork mount on a helicopter basket one time.

We were excited to heli in Silverton — until we saw the bird. Looking like something your stoner uncle built in the garage out of four Meccano sets, a fish tank, and an AMC Pacer, this helicopter seats a pilot plus two only, making it a tricky vehicle, logistics-wise, when your group has 8 people in it.
