10,000 miles, 100+ flights.....NOT 25 mile range.

Oddly (conspiracy theory) you never actually SEE the pilot in most if not all of those. You see the pilot getting into SOMETHING with a very dirty canopy, then you see some craft flying with a people colored head........

I dunno. If they come out with an IPO and show that video as proof......hmmm.

I just watched it again and at 1:34 they state "we first flew 10,000 miles, we did 1,000 plus flights..."
Makes me wonder if they are stretching the 25-mile range.

With dirty canopies, non-clear shots of actual humans in airborne craft.....and the tendency for Silicon Valley to generate IPO's, still have to wonder.
But, I won't be investing in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt the 25 mile range restriction based on FAA classifying it as an ultralight? I'm sure with batteries, etc, it would go much, much further with altitude restrictions.
