**Used to have a FIAT X1/9.**
I had a wall poster of one. It neon green and black. A girl I dated at the time wondered why I had it, since she thought my 71 Mustang Mach one was cooler, and had nice dark blue metallic and silver paint.
It did not handle like a go cart, and was a dog with its 351 2v windsor v8. But it was a sharp looking car. IL road salt devoured it.

Can’t wait to see the DMV license test for this one.
If there are only two in any country, guaranteed they’ll find a way to “meet.”

Hard pass for this thing...
I always felt as though I was rushing to the scene of the crash when in a copter...

You do not fly A helicopter.
You essentially keep it from crashing until you land.......................

Is this supposed to be a promotional video for the Pegasus? It barely got off the ground. Show it flying over a mountain or cliff/canyon and get back to me.

"...a FIAT X1/9..." but it didn't fly - at least not more than once.

Another "Silly A$$" idea that will go NOWHERE!The number of LIABILITY lawsuits from accidents alone will be enough to prohibit anyone from even WANTING to own one. This is probably an invention by LAWYERS to help STEP UP business.

Sure, for rotorwing operation but the rotor doesn’t rotate during ground use.

Picture criminals getting a hold of this thing. Instead of drive-bys, they’ll do fly-bys.

"
Like a supercar". Seems kind of flimsy for that. And I would want fully certificated for that price.

So many things could go wrong, even if it’s used by police or taxi companies.

No - I’m talking about snagging them in the power lines that are ubiquitous everywhere. Low-level flight is impossible in any urban or suburban area. It’s bad enough for “real” pilots on approach — even with the orange balls on the power lines!

I didn’t ever have an unexpected encounters with P-lines but my friend in a Robinson R22 got all wrapped up with a cherry tree.
