I'm sure people will dream up many imaginative uses for such a machine. If it leads to cheap flying, it'll sell.

People looked at the Robinson's with much scepticism years ago (no baggage space, small size, low inertia etc etc). Now there are many supporters of the machines.

I would be seriously interested in one, would love to know more.

One caveat, I don't want a death trap, no mini 500 stuff! Build it like a brick outhouse and I would be more than happy.

Potential uses off the top of my head:
Training
Hour building
Personal transport
Filming
Patrols
Drying / Air circulation
Cattle mustering

P.S. It needs a comfy seat. Manufacturers always seem to overlook this on small machines. A nice lightweight Recarro out of a racing car should do just fine!
