Well, I was fixin' to 'blast' ya for 'slaming' me again...until I clicked on the link...and, ya know...I ackshully WOULD like to have wunna those!!!!!!

As a kid, I was a BIG fan of the "Rocketman" movie serials and 'swore up and down if something like his "suit" were ever available...

Of course, NOW I realize a person would need a BACKBONE to fly wunna those things, sooooooooo... :frown :willy:willy:willy

Amen to both. And don't forget INSURANCE. High dollar insurance.

On toppa that, I can't see anyone being allowed to use wunna these to fly around town doing errands either. 'Not gunna happen. :frown:frown:frown

'Pbly only gunna be allowed to fly one over totally undeveloped land someplace. 'Hardly worth owning one that being the case...

"Land of the free." Riiiiiiiiiiiight...

At least you are consistent. Fly it like you drive it!

EP in your case, not a all. :lol

well pilots have to weigh somewhere between 140 to 240 so I am guessing that it has a max payload of 240. Since I weigh 210, it doesn't leave me much payload to mount an MG. So its not much of a weapons system. :lol

BTW. EP I also loved the Rocketman serials ... my kid loves the Rocketman movie remake. So I think it'd be big fun too.
