Two pilots headed for the Sun n' Fun 2009 show in Lakeland, Florida, on Saturday put their "IFR" (I follow roads) skills to good use when they landed their SkyRanger light sport aircraft (N514GS) on an urban street in Winter Haven. The pilots were enroute from Winter Haven to Lakeland when the video-equipped aircraft's 2-cycle engine failed. The engine did come back to life several times after pilots turned the starter, but each time the powerplant appears to have shutdown on its own. Both men walked away.
