Tantalizing video, but where are the details about the unit? :dontknow:
How much time can you spend in the air?
What sort of fuel does it use?
Are there any special licensing requirements?
What is it's lift capacity? :shocked:
And how much does it cost?

(At least I didn't post the "Where's my jetpack" video again! )

I can tell Bob wants one. Give us a blow by blow report on your first flight Bob. If not we will consider the worst has happened! :joke:

I've always been intrigued with the thought of flight... :thumbup:
Unfortunately; my health makes piloting any aircraft impossible. :banghead:

Bob
What will the insurance cost ?
:roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I honestly have no idea...

But if I was piloting it; the premiums would certainly NEVER be enough to cover the losses!

Very cool..!!

Thing would be what the range/time a flight could last..then there is the, mpg, mph, noise levels etc etc but what a blast if even for a few minutes. Watch had what looked like 15 minutes...:dontknow:hyea:

 

[Bob Denman]

They mentioned a 45 minute flight-time... :thumbup:

I will watch. Could buy five more :spyder2:'s for that kind of money.

Wonder what the _ _ _ will be thinking if people start flying them all over the place?

[Cavman]

But will you have to register it like a drone?

It sounded AWESOME!!
But I'll bet that he cooked a whole bunch of fish in that Pond with it! :shocked:
(Do you think that he stayed mostly over the water in case he crashed; or to prevent burning up the land around his test flights?)
