I got over the lost money a long time ago but I refuse to be quiet about Jim Bede as long as he continues to return to foster yet another con on the homebuilders. He did it with the BD-5, he did it again with the BD-10, and yet again with the BD-12/14. Now he has returned with yet another scheme. As long as he continues to come back and people like you defend him, I will continue to remind the unsuspecting that he has a record of taking your money but delivering much less than promised, if anything at all. >> As much hype as Moller has put out about the >> Skycar, do you really think that he would not be telling the whole world if >it >> had actually flown?

It might help. > >Juan There have been a lot of experimental aircraft that have managed to lift off the ground a couple of feet and set back down again but they could hardly be considered as controlled flight. The Harrier and the helicopter you mentioned, can both lift off the ground in a hover and transition into controlled FLIGHT beyond hover. Has the Skycar demonstrated any controlled flight beyond a simple lift off and hover? The Skycar has to be able to liftoff the ground, transition into forward flight and return before it is anything more than a pipe dream. Even then, the performance figures quoted on the Moller site will be hard to achive if indeed they are even possible. As for thinking before I post, I have apparently thought more about the real possibilities of this pie-in-the-sky fairy tail than you have. I suggest you post some facts instead of rumors and fairy tails. ENOUGH SAID! Bede and Moller are not worth any more of my time and neither are you.
