If you had one....would you fly in it? I think it's too cool! I wonder if someone would have to have a license of any sort?

omg, thats off the chain...i want one, never take the subway again

Too bad they are so expensive.....like $50,000. I bet, with time and enough interest, other companies would make cheaper versions.

It reminds of a golf cart version of a plane. LOL!

That thing is cool but I can't imagine people being allowed to operate them without some type of major license.

It's not a car or a plane... it's a TOY! LOL! I don't know....if it got popular...I'm sure there would be restrictions as to where they could be flown and who would be allowed to operate it. So much for freedom.

Meh, I'd rather have an ultralight.

They're probably under the same classification as ultralights, so you probably just need a recreational pilot's license to fly it.
I have details on the license, if needed.

It's a toy that a person can fly. If a person can fly it then a person can crash it too. If a person can crash it, they can crash it on a bus full of kids or take someones head off with the rotor. It does look cool but a huge swinging prop is still dangerous.

That said, I'd really love to get one some day.
