@gunzkillu A mexican did make 2 copies, but alas, they did not create it.

@Manoo62 You can only fly for 30 seconds, but for safety reasons, it has a helmet that vibrates intermittentl after 10 seconds, and continuously after 15 seconds letting the pilot know to land.

love it

@nightelfdruid24 It costs about $4.50/lb to buy and is around 1.4 time the weight of water. Total weight including pilot was always going to be the limiting factor. It burns through about 8 gallons in 40 seconds!

my father,William Powe,worked at Bell from 1960-1977. He spoke of this,and said that the fuel they used was astronomically expensive and heavy,thus the constraints

[kaletremontasito]
