This is loosely based on my idea for a flying car. Now I will admit that adding VTOL to this was overkill. And without computer aided flight control most people will not be able to VTOL, however it is possible to do it. I recommend a flight stick and fast hands. Normal takeoffs are easy enough though and works well. Just remember to turn off the thrusters beforehand and that the nose is heavy.
