StreetPlanes Store

2007-10-04T13:58:00.000-04:00

Soon StreetPlanes will begin manufacturing ready to ride motorized bicycles and trikes but in the meantime we thought we'd turn you on to some of the parts we've been trying out on StreetPlanes' pre-production prototypes just in case you'd like to try building your own electric or gasoline hybrid vehicle. That's why we've started stocking the StreetPlanes Parts & Accessories Store with many of

Long Time No News

2007-02-15T21:00:00.000-05:00

Time and money are always in short supply. So is weather fit for "flying" this time of year. We've been busy working on several new StreetPlanes with plans to debut them in the spring. One of them is running on products from Battery Powered Systems. That's right, it's an electric StreetPlane, no polution and no noise. And while the WACKEMALL-1 gets 100 miles per gallon we're thinking our new

Video: Flying The WACKEMALL-1

2006-10-10T16:08:00.000-04:00

When professional video journalist Tom Lassiter contacted me a couple weeks ago wanting my help with a video for ConvergeSouth, I thought we were doing a commercial for ConvergeSouth. Little did I know Tom was planning to do a video all about me and my StreetPlanes! Wow, like am I ever blown away! Tom makes me look smarter and funnier than I really am. Tom, the WACKEMALL-1 and I will all be in

Crash Landing!

2006-08-27T00:39:00.000-04:00

StreetPlane engineer and test pilot, Brother Without A Name, began "flight testing" of the WACKEMALL-2 early this morning but while doing a series of aerobatics maneuverers commonly referred to as loop-d-loops, the superstructure of the WACKEMALL-2 began to fail and caused Brother Without A Name to crash to the ground barely escaping injury. The "flight crew" quickly gathered up the pieces,

We've Got Wings!

2006-08-24T12:17:00.000-04:00

We put the wings on the WACKEMALL-2 last night. (Sorry, no pictures until it's in the air-- trade secrets, you know.) Of course, once we completely assemble the WACKEMALL-2 we'll have to take it apart so that we can gring all the welds and finish (paint) the parts before we wrap the wings. Here's a great picture of the WACKEMALL-1 at Horizon Park, the home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers, and

Advertising That Works

2006-08-17T13:22:00.000-04:00

The WACKEMALL-1 parked outside of First Horizon Park. Are you looking to get your products and services in front of as many eyes as possible? It might be you could paste your adds on the bodies of hookers but just in case that's not the sort of street level advertising you'd like to utilize why not think about airplanes? Or perhaps I should call them Street Planes. People like StreetPlanes.

Take Me Out To The Ball Park

2006-08-09T10:21:00.000-04:00

The Greensboro Grasshoppers will be playing an away game this Friday night against the Hagerstown Suns but that doesn't mean First Horizon Park will be empty as something even better than baseball will be going on there. And on that Friday: StreetPlane pilot, Billy Jones will be barnstorming the Bands In The Stands concert featuring

What's The Newest On StreetPlanes?

2006-08-07T14:35:00.000-04:00

Construction has already begun on the WACKEMALL-2 and an improved banner trailer. Unlike the WACKAMALL-1, the 2 will be a canard configuration that combines human, electric, and wind power to make a three-way hybrid. Construction is moving at a much faster pace than with our first StreetPlane and with a little luck the WACKEMALL-2 will be flying around Greensboro. Examples of canard style

You've already seen the world's first StreetPlane, the WACKEMALL-1 but what's next?

WACKEMALL-1 Hard At Work

2006-07-19T12:23:00.000-04:00

I find it really amazing that I don't even need to ride the WACKEMALL-1 for it to produce more traffic to my website. Of course, if this were a paying gig I'd be somewhere other than parked in front of my house but as any business owner knows much of the business takes place outside of the view of the public so this morning while I'm calling on potental customers and drawing up plans for

What Can StreetPlanes Do?

2006-07-12T18:19:00.000-04:00

That is the big question, right? Better put, what can StreetPlanes do that billboards can't do? StreetPlanes can move to where the people are. Sure, there's lots of billboards out there on the highways of America but have you ever seen a crowd gather around a billboard? StreetPlanes can park-- even in your competitor's parking lot. That is, until he or she threatens to call the police.

Build Your Own StreetPlane

2006-07-11T13:06:00.000-04:00

What In Tarnation Is A StreetPlane? The pictures you're looking at are of the WACKEMALL-1, the world's first StreetPlane. Besides making a very visual statement bound to catch the attention of your audience, the WACKEMALL-1 is the green alternative to unsightly billboards and 10 MPG truck-based rolling billboards burning precious diesel fuel at $3.50 a gallon or more. The WACKEMALL-1 is

2006-07-09T00:13:00.000-04:00

Why Fly StreetPlanes? Okay, so what is it we're selling? The short answer-- advertising-- but we've got so much more to offer. Think about this: StreetPlanes are the most unique advertising since... Well, since advertising began. The very first day the WACKEMALL-1 "flew" the websites advertised on its banners (BloggingPoet.com and LaureatesKids.com) saw marked increases of several hundred
