Has anyone seen that AeroScooter?
http://www.airscooter.com/
Kind of an interesting idea.

So - they oversimplify the web site.
"No license is required to fly . . . because it weighs less than 300
pounds . . ."
But, it seems as though there are a few other restrictions than that!
It looks kind of fun!


Given that the airscooter has fixed pitch in the rotors, and no swash
plates, I was just wondering what is the mechanism that makes it go forward,
backwards or to the sides. I didn't find much detail about how that is
accomplished in the website.
Anyone knows?

Tilting mast?
