So what makes this better than a one-man helicopter?

Build a two-seater and maybe I will like it.

not sure other its electric

Now just make sure you can't text from the thing. There's already enough accidents around here :willy_nilly:

Will they make them in men's sizes....I'm going to need more power, very cool concept

you cover the cost ill start building you one right away that thing looks like its going to be a blast myself i dont lke to have all the fun gota have room for your lady to ride with
right

:driving:

and i was wondering if you would need a pilots licence i know experamental aircraft do not

 

[Bobcat]

I've misplaced my checkbook......go ahead and start !:sifone: But seriously if you had the coin to buy one ......you could buy a spare for the girlfriend !

 

[afr]

i hear ya im sure it cost way more to buy it then to build it
if you ever find that checkbook or win the lotto we can build up a few
lol same for me i got several little projects in pencil just waiting

 

[Bobcat]

If it wasn't for the speed of the thing I'm sure it could have slid under the radar to ultra light status.....but a 149 mph is moving pretty good !

It looks like as long as she's a skinny chick she'll fit right underneath you - quite conveniently.:sifone:

You aren't going to see this thing in our lifetime... but I hope I'm wrong.

I've been waiting to see Dr. Paul Moller's "skycar" for almost 30 years - still haven't heard chit of it actually doing anything...

 

[afr]

im not so sure there is a speed limit on ultralight status but there might be bobcat maybe
i wouldnt want to what it would cost to insure the thing

yea buoy skinny is a good thing hu
i love that sky car i did hear there was a working prototype but as i recall insurance /re tape b/s killed it
who knows what may pop up its going to take some one with deep pockets and lots of connections to do anything with electric as the oil company will smash it
an old freinds dad had built a carb that would get around 100 mpg the big goverment types bought it and shut him down
