Prolly hoping the bidders know nothing about this. ;)

Video clicky

FUNNY THING IS that that one hasn't flown yet....to the best of my knowledge, whereas the one for sale not only flew, but was faa certified(i think)

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

Didn't they try to slap some wings on a jeep in WW2?

Watch out this guy is a hoer!

think of it as a the long awaited WELL NEEDED attrition...  for many years many many people who have no business operating anything anywhere.. have been clogging the roadways..

and now there is a solution

just don't fly for the first year, and watch for falling debris.

Damn and I thought getting run off the road 3 times in the past month was bad.  Hope that you live in military air space fellers cause the idiots are gonna be falling from the skies in a couple of years. :devil

Im put off by the fact that buying it apparently results in scarf wearing dinosaurs invading your garage, I don't have time for that crap.

wait a few year, the next generation will probably look better, have higher performance, and less probability of Tyrannosaur.

hopefully by then, this model will have killed off all of the ones that have no place driving a car, much less flying an airplane........

That thing has one hell of a blind spot in car mode.  I can't believe this is the best anyone can come up with.




edit*

Then again, anyone with the know-how to come up with a good design is also smart enough to know what a bad idea a flying car for the masses would be.

yes.....and let's just overlook the fact that wings and single lane roads dont mix well.

I would rather have a driving plane than a flying car..  :aok
