Even if it can't be scaled up, it's a neat toy!

Kudos to Vitto. That is awesome. Is he looking for investors?

Don't know...He went through that crowd funding thing and raised about twice his goal....He was selling them with all the controls and stuff for around $500....

Found this....Looks like the price has gone up some, and apparently he's raising funds to build a full scale model.....

Pre-orders Be part of history get your own Flying Car model and contribute to development of 1:1 scale vehicle

Do you really want the general public flying? The next door neighbor's wife flying to the market? No thanks! Dangerous enough with people driving!

Fantastic, design, implementation and performance. Clever Guy and the model is well worth the money....

But up-scaling, not for me.....Spent too much time in choppers, especially the testing for pilots with engine failure in Changi years ago.......no thanks.....That was enough.....making a chopper 4 times more complicated - naaaaah!!

Well I'm thinkin' more an offroad thing....can you imagine going cross country with this.....I think it would be a blast, 4 wheelin' the trails and flying over the obstacles....No high flyin' like an airplane, more of a next gen 4 wheeler....

Already people get to where they never should be by ATV and snow mobile - this would only make access easier and more useless types out in the country.
