AeroScooter?
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? |

I saw an interview with the inventor the other week on "Daily Planet" I
thought it was pretty cool. I was just thinking if it is indeed true that the mast tilts instead of a swash plate they should have just eliminated the steering and have the p[ilot grab the mast and man handle it directly.
