OK, I will bite. Where does one sit on/in this X-plane? It is a good concept, but how to make it small enough to fit in say, a two-car garage? Still, it has some interesting features with VTOL, and forward speeds in the 400 knot range, is considerably peppy.

I would love to have one. I suspect the bank will not loan me the money for it right now.
