I am not yet convinced that technology is anywhere near where it should be ... frankly equipement even not relevant to you is basic crap -- take sony and its newest MP3 u got one button for everything!1 It is a fucking joke.
THe copter looks very basic -- what about flying cars man we talk of UFO - but none is designed accordingly ... airtraffic is more interesting than boaring a whole in the tarmuck .....

The original designer was killed in a mid air accident in his own gyrocopter. Why would you want to risk flying a dangerous machine ? Get an airplane and stay alive. | | Csizmadia Endre, e-mail, 10.06.2010 | reply |
