  3. This must be one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. I like the idea but that's about it...

  7. The one thing I don't like about things that fly:

    When your bike breaks down, you come to a stop at the verge.
    When your plane breaks down, you come to a very sudden stop on the ground.

    And you're brown bread.

  8. Unless it's a helicopter which you can often land even without the engine or a plane with more than one engine :)

  15. Whats appealing about the maverick is:

    Cost - 96,000USD
    Perfomance. 0-60mph 4 seconds on road
    Economy: 30+mpg on road
    Spares: subaru 2.5 motor (loads around)
    Ease of use: the flexi wing is stored in the roof area of the car.


    It seems to be a fun and useful piece of kit.

  16. Yep. It's probably not the nicest experience but it's still a bit safer than trying to land a plane with a broken engine ;) Not having t find a runway also helps a bit :)

  17. £96k USD that's a lot for a glorified Paraglider. On a serious note Id love a Microlight
