I bet he'd have an Eden Electronics flag waving from the back of it too.

Can it go any higher than ten feet? Can I fly this to work/school legally? If so this is an excellent investment. I could shave fifteen minutes off my commute easily, and just park on top of the building.

Meet George Jetson

If *they* could build it cheap enough to turn a profit, they would have by now.

The oil industry doesn't want you flying it because it's electric

Reading the comment underneath sounds like it's not going to make my daily commute any easier.

How come there's no pics of it flying??

I'll stick with my RC Helicopters. It won't be long until I'm in the same price range

Awesome concept. I wanna see these in production, but eventually it would get really dangerous as more and more of them would be around.

There area few companies working on flying cars. A company called Moller or something has come the furthest from what I've seen.

Nah, I think Munji would stay away from that new-fangled thing. He's plenty happy with the pterodactyl he's been using for years. He's got the latest model, you know.

In the eBay ad the dude makes comment of the Moller, and states the one for sale has flown (hovered?) higher than the Moller, and did so untethered.
