Check out http://www.moller.com/purchase/purch_info.html. Only $100K
to secure a delivery slot! And the "car" will be priced at (slightly) less
than
a million smackers! If you're willing to wait till after position 250 (I
think it
was), you only pay $10K and a final price of $500K.
I think I'll wait till postion 100K and pay $10,000....

The article also says something about the recent hover. IIRC that was 2
years
ago. Amazing how a project he has been working on for 30 years still can't
hover out of ground effect let alone transition to horizontal flight. I bet
a
few million dollars worth of investment will fix that.

Be my guest :-)
I'm waiting for the exciting computer animation of what it will look
like. That should only take 3 years and a couple million, but it's
all in the name of progress.

I am surprised the con artist hasn't made any form of animation let alone 3D.
