Man I wish I had money to donate/order mine.

Beyond just delivering a transitionable competitor to the AR Drone, he hopes to develop this into a full size passenger vehicle.

A little behind the times, isn't it?

How so?

Can you point to me any other product, RC or otherwise, that does both?


I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Well, in 2009 a Parajet Skycar was driven through France to southern Spain then flown over the Straits of Gibraltar; the Moller Skycar, while not roadable, is much further along in development; Ken Wernicke's Sky Technologies started in 1990 the development of the Aircar which drives at 65 mph and flies at up to 400 mph and fits in a parking spot. I'm sure there are more examples with which I'm less familiar.

Oh, true.

I guess I was thinking specifically RC.

I was really impressed by its off-road performance, was not expecting those flexible wheels to do well on the dirt.
