A method of control and a means for control for a vehicle constructed by temporarily integrating a conventionally controlled motorcycle and a fixed wing flight device. The method includes a means of control for maneuvering a vehicle, enabling a handlebar to tilt, rotate and move up and down; translating these movements to a flight device. The control means for vehicle flight control converts to a ground vehicle control means and vice versa. In one preferred embodiment, the method employs a mechanism comprising an apparatus, including a first means for enabling tilting of the handlebar without rotating the front wheel of the motorbike, and for allowing the handlebar to be raised and lowered without raising and lowering the wheel. The movements of the handlebar are translated to control ailerons, elevator and rudder of the flight device for making roll, yaw, and pitch adjustments.

The method of claim 1, where said movement of up and down translates to movement of in and out of said single member from the operator's chest; where said movement of tilting translates to changes in the relative height of right and left sides of said single member to the operator; where said movement of rotating translates to changes in the relative distance of right and left sides of said single member to the operator. 9. A method of control for piloting a forward-moving vehicle through physical space; wherein said method uses a single member; wherein said single member has two-way movement relative to the operator; wherein said piloting consists of two-dimensional piloting and three-dimensional piloting; wherein said three-dimensional piloting consists of pitch, roll and yaw; wherein said pitch, roll, and yaw are controlled through said two-way movement, of up and down, and rotating; wherein said pitch is controlled by said up and down movement; wherein said roll, and yaw are controlled through said rotation; wherein said two-dimensional piloting consists of steering; wherein said steering is controlled by said rotation of said single member in conjunction with said roll, and yaw control. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said up and down movements are along a y axis, and said rotating movement is in an x/z plane. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said physical space being actual or virtual; wherein said vehicle comprises a device from the list of devices including but not limited to; a flight device, an airborne flight device of fixed wing embodiment, a combination flight and ground device, a virtual vehicle as would be in a computer application as for training in a simulated environment, an entertainment device, any object that requires maneuvering including objects comprising the list of remote cameras, construction equipment and diving equipment; wherein said vehicle is a combination vehicle comprised of the temporary physical union of a ground vehicle with a separate flight vehicle, or portion of flight vehicle; wherein said combination vehicle when unified, comprises of a ground vehicle portion and a flight vehicle portion, so as to provide both portions to act in concert as a single unified vehicle; wherein said unified vehicle retains both flight and ground operational abilities of the said ground vehicle portion and flight vehicle portion. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said combination vehicle, uses conventional moveable flight control surfaces of elevator, ailerons, and rudder; wherein said single member controls said combination vehicle through the manipulation of said flight control surfaces. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said combination vehicle, uses steering control consisting of a conventional ground-touching wheel or wheels that adjust direction relative to other wheel or wheels to affect direction; wherein said single member controls the steering of said combination vehicle through the manipulation of said steering control of said ground vehicle portion. 14.
