Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2008.08.04 19:20:00 - [5] With only 30 minutes of flight time and 10 US gallons per hour burn rate, it's very short range for a very high running cost. With a 63MPh top speed and only a 5 gallon tank, that's a little over 30 miles between refuelling stops. That sort of rules out sales in the UK with our fuel prices as they are now, it works out at 1 UK Pound per mile I am pretty sure they can vastly reduce the burn rate though with a little thought, a 2 litre engine need not burn fuel that fast. Also, why a 2 litre engine? It's only carrying a single passenger and only the fan speed is important to generate the lift. I'm sure a smaller engine would rotate the fans just as fast for far less fuel cost per hour. I'm sure the Japanese would soon make a 1 litre version with around 3 times the range and probably a lot faster too since they would not agree to FCC rules governing them any more than they went along with motor vehicle regulations with their 100mph+ 125cc motorcycles. -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted. Kinky is using a feather to get her in the mood. Perverted is using the whole chicken.

The only one I heard of was the TrekAERO Springtail. But both make such a horrible racket. Though the Martin seems more stable. _ Mal-`Appears we got here just in a nick of time. What does that make us?¦ Zoe-¦Big damn heroes sir.¦ Mal-¦Aint we just.¦

I quite like the Dragonfly since it can take up to two people even though it was initially an unmanned vehicle... -- There's a simple difference between kinky and perverted.

Gabbot	Posted - 2008.08.04 20:26:00 - [8] Originally by: altikon a mere 60,000 USD... bargain cheaper than a javelin missile and it dosent go boom......always
Dheorl Surge. NIght's Dawn	Posted - 2008.08.04 20:27:00 - [9] The fact that this seems to need 2 people running along side to be safe kinda limits its usability
Delvardious Kaesos Caldari Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.08.04 20:28:00 - [10] Give it like 30 years. We'll be flying around like Boba Fett. Now i've finally got some use for the Mandalorian Armor Suit I made. ---------------------------------------- Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes.

Now i've finally got some use for the Mandalorian Armor Suit I made. TBH Boba did about 2 flights and one of them got him slammed into the side of like the only big metal thing around and then eaten. Jango was the real pro.

The first link I clicked on on that website tells me that they might be a little bit sensitive about that subject ------ Originally by: Micheal Dietrich You can even get a midget with a camera to sit on the floorboard.
