Moller Skycar for $3.5 Million
Neiman Marcus has the Skycar prototype on sale for $3.5M.
http://snipurl.com/i0eh If only Moller offered it with the Zoch Diesel.... Maybe Zzzzz or his Toadie will test fly the thing. Look for a flight report on Aero-nut network. |

"Certain regulatory requirements must be met for purchase of the
prototype, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations........." What kid of weapons has Moller developed that we don't know about? Does this mean that I need to register my Quickie project with the BATF as a class III and pay the $200 stamp? ============== Leon McAtee |

Moler is like Jim Bede. Great at raising money for his pie-in-the-sky
ideas. After at least ten years, you'd think he'd have something other than a sortof mockup. Where's the beef? |

Where's the beef? Try 30+ years. Also, his website indicates he's spent $100 million. I find it amazing that mainstream media still pimps his wares from time to time, given that he's 30 years and $100 million into the project and has Zero results other than a display only model with a pretty paint job. PT Barnum would be so proud... |

Tony http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr17987.htm What surprises me is that even though it only takes seconds to find evidence of his decades of hucksterism, people apparently still send him money and dream of flying his creation. Then again, this is his second attempt to sell the prototype, so maybe he's finally running out of suckers. Wayne |

The feds and NASA think the basic idea is great and actually have a program to develop something along those lines. Can you imagine the air traffic if even one percent of the drives had something like that?

In 2003 he actually hovered the thing. Well, on a tether and only in ground effect, but he did hover it. Not bad for 35 years of fleecing suckers. Personally I think it would be nice if moller were to take the money, assuming it sells, pay off some investors then do a swan dive into oblivion. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Moler is like Jim Bede. Great at raising money for his pie-in-the-sky
ideas. Well, not quite that bad. Jim Bede's airplanes actually flew, some rather successfully. The many Grumman singles, the BD-4, and so on. The BD-5 and the later stuff might have been hyped, alright. Moller still has to come up with ONE thing that' actually capable of useful flight. Dan |

He hasn't made anything that flew w/o tether, but he did make decent
motorcycle mufflers (SuperTrap) and was successful at selling them. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone |
