Can I take off when I see a traffic jam and land on an empty freeway?

Great.
Now i have to watch for the people texting behind me and ABOVE ME.
With so many people "challanged" to properly navigate through 2D space - 3D space is going to be a real challange for them.

From the pictures it will probably take 2 lanes and require a long take-off. The old Mueller sky car went straight up but it would have been too loud for a cell phone!

..."flying cars?"

...heck the Dukes of Hazard had them back in the late 1960's...remember the "General"

Late 1970's It was the "General Lee".
I smoked a local look-alike from a stoplight with my '68 Chevelle SS in '79. Not that I would admit that on a public forum before 30 years had passed....

...ah, but could that '68 Chevelle SS "fly" like the General Lee did back in the late 70's?

Never tried. I'd bet it could... Once.

Depends on just what you were smoking :-)

Flying's easy

it's the landing that's hard.

This thing has remarkably similar specs to a C152... except the 10x price!
