Moss - I remember a flying car back in the early 70's and I believe it made a flight or two..Do you remember that one ? and if so what ever happened to it ?

This one is pretty neat....If they brought the price down with production to just under $100K they would sell a lot of them.

Oh boy! I can see it now. Walmarts with landin' strips...maybe not.

Do they have one with a towing package?

Actually, Sam Walton would probably have loved this since he was an accomplished and regular flyer.

I always thought this guy would have the first one...

Yeah, or the fly through at McDonald's..........or maybe everyone would like to go to and see a fly in movie. The possibilities are endless

I'm still waiting for a flying tractor.

There have been several flying cars before. However, most of them had detachable wings and were quite cumbersome. This one is pretty slick. I hope that company takes off (pun intended). :laughing:

The "landing gear" is so short, it looks like it would be extremely hard to land in a crosswind without dinging a wingtip or the tail.

I noticed a bungee cord on the steering wheel during flight, maybe to make sure it stayed centered so as not to be veering off the runway during landing if it was accidentally turned during flight.

Still, cool stuff.
