Only problem at this stage is
It’s tough to envision such wide use while the glider car is at an $80,000 price point, but it wouldn’t take much of a reduction to turn this into an attainable tool–or toy–for countless individuals and organizations.

I love this...
I mean, really, it’s a flying car. It’ll sell itself.

I find it interesting that they have a "boom" and fixed mechanism to position the wing. From looking at the paragliding and motorised paragliding guys most of the effort is to inflate and deploy the wing?
