Pete, Yeah, the Isetta was a real experience. It was a 600 that I found behing a
local building. Never really got it up to speed, but had some fun and interfaced
with a neat bunch of folks. We drive and ride BMW's, so it was a fun area to dip
into. Wish I had a really nice 2 seater, but they sure bring a premium. Doug n'

there... back when I was about 16 or 17, I
had _three_ Isettas at the same time. Took that many to keep one
running. The Isettas were a lot of fun and easy to work on, I'd set a
patio cushion next to it on the ground, then roll the car over onto
the cushion to get full access to the bottom. (That would come in
handy with a 'bird, but it sure isn't as easy to lift!) The
electrical system was also good training for a 'bird... great
complexity. Had a lot of trouble with the generator/starter field
housing -- very clever, used the same rotor with a double sets of
stators -- but the field housing tended to short out. At least it was
real easy to push start.
