rumors are it is going to come in between $70k and $80k. It is classified as an ultralight but doesn't require a pilot license. Supposedly you can fly it with a few hours of video training. It flies about 25 minutes and cannot fly over populated areas. Just perfect for me flying over lake erie.

Does it float and can you put an outboard motor on it?

LOL...well, substitute the shark for a perch, sheepshead or walleye and you've got something.

I've been looking at a powered parachute for some time but my wife says no way until my daughter is out of the house.

Hmmm, so fly over the game day gridlock at the Beave? What if thousands of others are doing the same thing?

No it’s going slowly. I need to focus and get it done. I had to divert funds to upgrade some things in the house. Thanks for asking. I will do it. It’s just taking a little longer than I like.
Good luck, keep at it. It is extremely rewarding!!

Some big channel cats in Lake Erie. If you are flying in it how is it classified as a drone???

They said it was in the clip. I have no idea of the rules. You don’t have to have a pilots license. The soccer goes after a couple of hours of computer simulation. Powered parachutes are the same. They have one week classes

This will not end well.
 
Yeah. But you can fly wherever you want and carry yourself and people with you and maybe even carry golf clubs.

It’s a vehicle. The other thing is a toy
All true. But this is the first iteration by a small inventor. In five years, better electric motors, better props, lighter batteries, improved materials and design and a two person one will come along. Get some big bucks by major firms and a five person craft will be here in ten years.
 
No, but I's be interested in buying Spanish fly, can't get my wife to eat oysters :rolleyes:
