I am looking for a bent that I can fly legaly with no extra charges. I have a Rocket that is small
and was woundering if S&S couplers is the way to go. I would like to know how I coud pack my
Rocket with minimal assemby and take it on airlines for those week long trips. Someone once
mentioned a golf bag? Any suggestions? Thanx

AFAIK, the Lightning P-38 Voyager (w/ S&S Couplings) is the only fullsize bent that can be purchased
and fit into an airline legal suitcase (62" overall dimensions L+W+H).

You could probably achieve these dimensions with an S&S Coupled Rocket, but You still need to
manage the seat.

I have made several trips with my Voyager even after 9-11 with no questions or problems.

Contact Calhoun Cycle calhouncycle.comcalhouncycle.comOpen ↗ 612-827-8000 about having S&S couplings installed.
They have a deal with one of the finest framebuilders in the world, Curt Goodrich, who does the
brazing. You've probably never heard of Curt, because he mostly builds Rivendells, which go for
$2,300 for a bare frame.

BTW I did a suitcase Rocket for Calhoun mnhpva.orgRocket.htmlOpen ↗ without S&S. Works
just as well, maybe better. But the S&S are so pretty, and because they are a known commodity will
increase your resale value.
