Roadable Aircraft ... What about this?

I saw earlier posts about North Texan's Butterfly and was impressed
with the depth and quality of discussion regarding patents and the
limitations and requirements for roadable aricraft.

I would welcome your feedback regarding my product:

And an article in the recent issue of Full Throttle (biker rag):

Yeah, well, I'll try to keep it polite, Mr. Wolff, since I'm always
asking others to do so. I'm hardly in a position to evaluate a product
that doesn't exist, so I can't comment on its merits or faults. But,
morally, I don't think you ought to be taking deposits for a product
that doesn't exist, nor selling dealerships for it.

I understand your concerns, and I've taken some heat for this. The web
site and our agreements state clearly that we will take deposits in
escrow -- our account or yours, however you may want to set it up --
and we would do the same for dealers.

Our goal with this is two-fold: 1) to offer early adopters and others
as excited about the concept as we are first dibs, and 2) to have
something concrete to show investors with a product for which the
market is somewhat nebulous.

I know that people have gotten burned in similar situations, and we
have done our best to protect both ourselves and any potential
customers.

Thanks

Twin engine cannot be operated under LSA. Read the reg. Single engine only.

That's what the man said.

So this one would have to be experimental.

Part 103 doesn't have such a burdensome reg ...or that LSA turbine
prohabition, either. :-)

more than five gallons of gas, Monty?
or over stall speed?

cri-cri is cute, but at 360 pounds and 36 pounds thrust
I bet acceleration is a bit underwhelming...

Yeah... that's it. Sure, that gas thing. Yup, too much gas.

No other 103 references here folks. Move along now...
