you'd probably spend so much time trying to find parts, that it wouldn't be worth it.

Don't worry, it would take so much money for me to use my IA on that thing, he would have to add some more digits to that asking price. :D

Seeing all the idiots with cars they can barely drive, the idea of personal flying vehicles scares the crap out of me.

Don't know why this would scare you.  The DMV will make them take a test, all will be just fine, you worry for nothing.  :pray

They're supposed to test them before they let them drive cars too.

I remember seeing them things on TV in the early '90s and them saying that they had a working prototype, and commercial models would be available for sale "within a couple of years". That was, if I rcall correctly, in 1991 (it was on The Discovery Channel's "Beyond 2000" show). 18 years later and still don't see them.

They had a problem with microprocessor speeds and rotary power levels and all of those things have come of age now. They still havent tested the full flight capabilities and I think the primary delay today is regulation of the airways and streamlining production but really they just dont have the money to make them yet.
