It bothers me slightly that the prop sticks up above the spoiler.
Should be easy to make it less vulnerable.

Wait, what did I just watch?
That is so awesome, it's like seeing the future.

Neat, but three questions.
Will you need a pilot's license as well as a driver's license>
Will a mechanic need an A&P license?
Can it use the interstates for take offs andings?

 

[equiprx]

Yes, yes and NOOOOOO.

This will present a HUGE problem for those States - like CT - with a personal property tax.

Personal property tax?
