    i imagine that, for very good reasons, they will not accept a long term installment plan for payment.

    @Nick: Apparently, Sir E. John's application has been denied. Something about him being too old and not an appropriate test pilot type.

    I thought test pilots got paid for risking their lives, not the other way around.

    So, NASA will pay me $5000 bucks to lay on my butt for a month while they study my back problems, but these guys want me to shell out $35,000 to strap a helicopter to my back and hope for the best?

    Naw way, man.

    I'd pay to watch, though.

    If it can be aimed horizontally and used with a skateboard I could use it to commute.

    Added bonus if it is fueled with grain alcohol.

    Some intrepid Canadian Giz commenter needs to go check this out and report back.

    What am I saying? It's $500 (possibly Canadian). Giz must have laying around in petty cash. Just order it!
