Cool, thanks.......and here is some Roth for you.

http://www.petersen.org/default.cfm?docid=1049

The cockpit of Rotar (The Roth Air Car) was a tight fit, especially for its creator Ed Roth. Powered by two Triumph motorcycle engines, and weighing 750 pounds, Rotar was able to hover several inches off the ground. A Roth Studios promotional postcard optimistically claimed “there is a remote possibility that this will be the first car to reach the MOON”.
Photo collection of the Petersen Automotive Museum

In 1962, Roth built Rotar (for Roth Air Car), a bubble-topped fiberglass vehicle that, much to the amazement of car-show-goers, was not a car at all, but an aircraft. Rotar hovered on a cushion of air produced by the downdraft of two large fan blades, each of which was powered by a 650cc Triumph motorcycle engine.

Futuristic hovercraft, they put wings on it and it flys.

I am surprised that it has not happened sooner. It is just friggin' tragic....

And the last I heard the EAA refuses to talk about doing things differently or requiring wing walkers for the bigger taildraggers in the future.

It was a shame what happened, and a bigger shame that the EAA is not doing anything to prevent it from happening again.
