Its somewhat humorous that we have this thread, and another one talking about the Smart car that gets 60mpg
for this thing to fly at all would take hundreds of HP (at continuous full throttle), and you would be lucky to get 2mpg with something that flys like a brick.
I was thinking last night of real aviation innovators, like Burt Rutan, who has designed and produced many successful aircraft and the first commercially produced space craft "SpaceShipOne" over the last 20 - 30 years.
Its a great contrast between real engineers (Rutan) and WannaBees.
There is no magic involved in making things fly, you just gotta know what you are doing
