txmorgan,
i cant...stop...watching...your avatar...


cool concept...i would wish someone would buy it and finish the project. A computerized air controlled balancing/stabalyzing system should not be too difficult to build up...shouldnt go in a museum quite yet.

What is the point of a flying car that don't fly? It was a good read to kill time at work.

Sofa King cool!

It doesn't fly because research was never completed to figure out why they kept crashing the other protos.
It's not weak or lame that it doesn't fly, rather,it's a piece of history in R&D of flying-type vehicles and that's exactly what you're buying, the history of the concept of a flying car, not an actual flying car.

Read the entire page, it's all there.

Scam lol! Anybody want to buy some stunt skills? You can get a circle button on haibikeshop.com lol. Instantly impress your friends. They also havea Stoppie switch on warped toys and cases of haterdae. One guy said the stoppie switch worked so well that once he installed it his bike wouldn't wheelie lol.

when i was a kid, here's what i thought 2008 would be like:




We SHOULD ALL have flying cars by now dammit! Seriously.

actually the main problem that people aren't flying in personal vehicles or strap on rocket back packs is a problem with redundancy. For example, say that car did fly, and say you took it out on the lake.

oh boy, engine failure!

seeya!

to put an extra engine in there would probably double the cost, double the weight, and at that point, wouldn't be worth it.
