Thanks, but no. Looks to be both a crappy car and a crappy plane. You will have to drive the thing to an airport to take off. Why not just drive a good car to the airport, park and get in a good plane?

What's to stop someone from simply taking off while hauling ass down I-5? Seems like it would make for an awesome getaway vehicle.

The FAA for one! As for a get away car/plane. As soon as that thing clears the ground it will be visible to radar. Then ATC can direct law enforcement directly to it.

Not to mention I bet you have to get out of the car and manually extend the wings and horizontal stabilizer. The weight required to automate it would prevent it from lifting off.

Exactly...bad value for a plane or car. But people will line up to buy them..be just like the days when this plane came out

I have a little instructional time in an A 36 Deb, and you need to pay the fuck attention. Not for the every other week flyer.

I would much rather see the infrequent pilot in a high wing.

Yeah, but it'll be a lot more fun on COPS when the crackhead bails from a few hundred feet in the air instead of a cul de sac.
