Me too.... right up until I read this in the FAQ:

"Question: Does the AirScooter auto-rotate?

Answer: The AirScooter is designed for the recreational sport flyer and
as such does not auto-rotate. The AirScooter is designed for
recreational flying at low altitude where even traditional helicopters
have little benefit from auto-rotation. Design efforts have been done on
a ballistic emergency chute for the AirScooter."


Yeah me too. That engine is a new design too so who knows how reliable
it will be as used in the air scooter? No cyclic, swash plates, tail
rotor etc is all great but if the engine quits, the belt breaks or
anything else fails, you are history in this thing.
