I would have thought you could design something much neater for very little effort
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

What a piece of amateurish crap. Why do people do these sort of things?
Love the helicopter in the background though!

Looks like a nice blank canvas to me - just needs a little imagination to finish it off

In the UK, you wouldn't stand a chance of getting this on the road without major modification. I know it's a three wheeler, but I think
the front windscreen must still be glass and you still have to have windscreen wipers. Plus, what on earth are you supposed to do if it rains?
With a little restyling, that Automite car they're selling could be promising, though...

Leave the windscreen off for SVA.

Though the surf dart (on the boats page) looks like a lot of fun - I do wonder why the pictures all have that 1960's look though.

not too sure on their helicopters...
experimental is not a word i want associated with a helicopter, and the fact she is touching the blade so easily is, worrying

Like I said; restyling needed.
The 60's look might be because the plans probably date from that era. I've seen plans for stuff like this in popular mechanics and similar
magazines. They definitely come from an era where function was favoured over form. Although whether they functioned satisfactorily or not is another
story...
And I think the term "experimental" in the context of aircraft is just another way of saying "amateur built". Like the
airbourne equivalent of a Locost.
