Okay, that was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. The night shots were especially awesome.

timujin		2012-03-12 01:53:20 PM

Nicely done.

basemetal		2012-03-12 02:20:37 PM

Thar flying car, Thar!

That is pretty awesome.

I was hoping the rotors were actually contained within the tire housings, but then I was wondering how they would be able to generate enough thrust. Pretty cool nonetheless

Very cool, I wonder if anyone has done the same kind of this with a Millenium Falcon model.

thing , not this..
I need to slow down.

Great Scott subby, a B2TF reference in a story about a DeLorean.

max_pooper		2012-03-12 03:29:30 PM

I would like to see the crash high light reel.

\You know there were a lot.

cgraves67		2012-03-12 03:34:10 PM

want!

Dude, don't take it over 88 !

ABQGOD		2012-03-12 03:39:37 PM

woah that was heavy!

LeroyBourne		2012-03-12 03:41:19 PM

The guy should figure out a way to mass produce those things. I'm sure there are copyrights and patents involved that wouldn't allow him, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.

PsyLord		2012-03-12 03:44:11 PM

Great Scott!

ABQGOD: woah that was heavy!

There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

Shenanigans .. where is video?

Actually... I think if you said "the same kind of THIS" it still would have been appropriate...

About 2/3s of the way down the page.

I have a quadrotor helicopter. Will this guy send me the crap that I need to put on mine? I must have that...

bulldg4life: I have a quadrotor helicopter. Will this guy send me the crap that I need to put on mine? I must have that...

looks like he made a platform for the body with a piece of insulation board, the rotor pods are mounted on spars to the wheel base,
it's all foam board and paint... get carving.

I was going to buy that for my nephews, um...yea nephews, but the flight time was like 12 minutes or something awful.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. Are you snarkily insulting subby for including a reference to the movies for a video of a model from the movies doing something from the movies?

If not, my most sincere apologies. If so, click on the link next time.

that's about average for all the rotor toys in that class. the only thing that would give me pause for that thing is that its mostly good at just hovering. you gotta put a little extra weight on the nose so it goes forward with any kind of authority.
it's perfectly fine for what it is, and you really shouldn't hesitate buying it for your "nephews"

RaceBoatDriver		2012-03-12 09:34:33 PM

I'm guessing he's using something like aeroquad code without any adjustments to compensate for the stretched prop placement. Looks cool though.

devolmann		2012-03-12 11:27:01 PM

Well, it certainly looks like its being flown by Michael J Fox.

Golf clap.

Well done.

Let's see a body swap to Jerry Anderson's Supercar, Blade Runner Spinner, or the Nebukanezzer from The Matrix.

Isildur		2012-03-13 02:46:54 AM

Ok, that's awesome.

/also, that music still makes my heart race like I'm a kid again

My grandfather dealt with traffic, now you don't have to. Get your car converted for the low low price of, 39, 999. 95!

Couldn't see the video yesterday but imagined what it would be based on this comment...saw it today, bravo!
