Everyone needs one of those. I would need to stop eating so much of my own cooking and lose a few pounds. But it would so be worth it for a 5 minutes commute to work.

I want one.

That is really neat, kinda like the moped of helicopters.

$35,000 ?! no thanks

If I was not so portly and had a spare 35K and a garage I would so be building one.

When I was in my early teens, I got to watch a bunch of guys flying ultra lite gyrocopers, man that looked like fun! Now that I am much older, I really want to stay near the ground! If I want some wind in my face, then I'll just hop on a motorcycle! They also cost a whole lot less money!

A little to spendy for me

norahc · 04-15-2012, 01:34 PM

It would make climbing to the top of our radio towers a lot easier!

Well, since I can't afford the $35K toy - might as well have the next best thing:

220 kg payload = 485.016 lb. Nice! All I would need would be a trunk to store my ammo and targets in.

My wife said " how much can it cost??? You can have one"
I doubt she meant it

Jerryboy · 04-15-2012, 07:14 PM

I'm sure if you knew what you were doing you could build one with more speed, range, and payload.

Shedhorn · 04-15-2012, 07:49 PM

Can you imagine mounting an AR to one for coyote hunting. Yeah man.

armoredman · 04-15-2012, 08:40 PM

That could be an interesting bug out vehicle...

If she did, you should be very afraid of what she wants to buy to offset it.

You'd be mighty limited in what you could take with you!
