mudmunster,
I didn't know Florida laws allow Atv's on the highways. After you get your LE Raptor registered and plated I would just drive over to your local tire center and have them match up some truck tires designed for both on and off the road. Cost should not be your concern but the safety of the tire and its rating should be your priority.

NO,NO,
That is not possible for it to be aviation certified too. It requires many hours of investigative research to see if it is air worthy and just adding wings to the Raptor won't qualify it. Mudmunster does not have his pilots license and that would require at least 40-50 hours of actual flight time with a qualified flight instructor. Then Mudmunster would have to do a solo flight on the winged Raptor and if he were to crash this would slow the sales of the already problematic Raptor. It would be much easier to get the road tires. Just trust me on this one.

Well......why not seal everything really good, get some really big baloon tires and get it aquatic certified?

Mudmunster was apparantly asking the question about the 400ex running with the Raptor on ashpalt for a friend......since he IS gonna get the Raptor.

Well after you make it a boat, car, sub., and all that why not add a helicopter attatchment? I would also get a hovercraft 2004 kit, also buy the aftermarket "army tank" kit. I would make is skinnier to go around tight orners too. I would get some good quality 44" boggers for the roads, good luck !
