He gets A+ for creativity : ^). Dangerous yes, but I think it has a
better chance of 'flying' than the G1.

Never has it been so easy to think of some positive comments. :-)

I guarantee he has the Surplus Center on speed dial.
Finally, a homebuilt that doesn't claim a 1000 mile range.
Perfect for Monster Garage to turn into a bass boat.

Not that anything could possibly go wrong, but the successful bidder
should invest in a good "flight" suit like this one

The weight of the thing(looks very VERY heavy) and the suit that you
suggested will greatly contribute to pilot safety : -).

I keep thinking the POH should say something about decapitation.

He actually had 2, but one for 5000 was retracted due to "one too many

The screen-door turnbuckles in the next to last photograph don't
inspire much confidence in the execution of the design either.

Like the builder says, it'd make a good static display for a
motorcycle shop.

After closer examination, I think it is too heavy for the horsepower

Oh my god.

My exact same feelings. WoW !!!

I would normally say something witty, but I am speechless. Is it a
scam? Perhaps an organic brain dysfunction? Or maybe this man is a
brave new form of life being weeded out my Darwin...

This is so far beyond anything I have experienced.

You think that is bad, I saw Moller's sky car advertised as being on one of
the science channel shows, again. they said it would do 560 MPH, or
something stupid like that. Why don't these doods investigate these things?

The Moller Sky Car is perfectly capable of 560 mph if first it is boosted
into orbit and then allowed to re-enter.. Look for the caveats. Actually
when I think about the right way, so is my Safari helicopter.--

Now, that's not fair! First it would have to get up high enough. Never
been above a couple feet, right?

I guess it _could_ drive off a cliff, right? g
