basically its an ultralight, the same thing from the movie fly away home. it costs 16k for the entire package. the engine is electric, so it costs 60 cents to refuel, requires almost no maintenance, and you don't have to wear earplugs.
as soon as I am done with school I'm going to find a friend who wants to go 50/50 on one of these. imagine being able to go flying whenever you want.

Imagine flying along and your battery dies and you have to make a crash landing in a field and getting a corn cobb up the ass. These things are cool but knowing my style of building, it would last a week or so.

i have seen someone flying one of those before at a beech. it looked like he wasn't going very fast and he wasn't very high.
