Not something that you would cruise down to Countdown to get the groceries in is it? A bit of carpark rash could be potentially fatal.

He he imagine the look on the testing officer's face after rolling up to sit your restricted license in it!!! Priceless!
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!

They keep rolling this old one out, year after year - yet to see it work.

Think of the regulatory, licensing problems, in this country we'd need a new Govt. Dept to deal with it.

Yes you'd be able to fly it, before being allowed to drive it!
WOnder how it performs?
Traditionally, carplanes are twice as bad as road cars, and half as good as light GA.
