FRIDAY SURPRISE: Allow me to indulge my fancy of flights one more time

Regular readers are already aware that I have this "thing" for personal flying machines. (See here, and here, and here.) I admit it, I'm hooked.

AirScooter has announced that their personal helicopter, the AirScooter II, will finally be available for sale in 2007. Weighing in a roughly 300lbs and flying at 55 knots, the helicopter features simplified controls that use no foot pedals - even amputees will be able to fly!



There's a great video of the craft in action that you can see here.

Of course I want one - but the price is likely to be in the neighborhood of $50,000. It's up to you, folks - order some custom gunsmithing, and lots of it! Papa needs a new 'copter!
