Well someone apparently said a personal VTOL aircraft really only needs
about 30 hp
Now I weigh < 220 lbs lean, wife unit could hall wears from Costco up to
about 100 lbs, I'd like to do about 100 mph level flight for those days I'm
late for watching X FILES, altitude to cross mountain ranges in a headwind,
enough reserve power to pull out of an inadvertent *woops* nosedive because
I kersploshed double tall mocha in my Gucci's for avoiding a flock of
belligerent Geese.

It has to have GPS, night / infravision displays, impending impact avoidance
governor. kickin' sound system and a cigarette lighter. How would you
embrace a gaggle of Japanese music students flying over your bedroom at 4 in
the morning and run out of urinefuel(tm) because they were so frozen in
embarrassment to top off the fuel tank in flight?
