Interesting. I think if I could choose, I'd prefer the jetman setup more.
 But I wouldn't turn down a chance at using either.

Beta testing is always a necessary step. I'm not able to imagine a solution to the range issue as fuel capacity would seem to be a big problem, but it sure is cool.

The landing gear is pretty fragile!
I hope the throttles are not set up where he grips hard and they go wide open.

As I understand the throttle:
One hand sets the thrust level in digital increments (click up / down to increase / decrease thrust level). The other hand changes the power output setting from idle to the set thrust level (pull trigger to go from idle to the preset thrust level). |
