Replying to The electraflyer--own your own plane for cheap

http://www.electraflyer.com/index.html

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.
