I wonder what the mpg is like - it will probably  be killed dead in the UK by the need for some sort of pilots licence and be grounded when the wind speed is above 10 mph.

So is it a giant drone or a Hovercraft with no skirts - either way it looks pretty cool! 8) 8) 8)

He was luck to escape with all his limbs unlike boxer Jack Bodell who chopped his toes off with a Flymo.
When Bodell worn his European & Commonwealth Championship back in 1969/70 he won a Mercedes supplied by the dealership where I worked in BoT. Personable chap who was a local butcher in Swadlincote sadly died a few years ago.
