STEVE SAINT'S MAVERICK FLYING CAR (FOR REAL!

Click here for the 6 minute video. It's the invention of Steve Saint, the son of one of the four missionaries killed in Ecuador many years ago (most mentioned was Jim Elliot).  Steve shows footage and explains the car.

I was fascinated and did a little more internet exploring.  Click here and then choose "The Maverick Flying Car" video.   It's 8 minutes long and goes into more detail.  The flying car is utterly, utterly fascinating.  This is aviation history taking place right now!

Popular Mechanics came out with a major article in its October 27, 2010 edition.  The vehicle is now street and air legal!  It will do zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds; it easily does over 80 mph on the ground and about 40 mph in the air.
