Here we have a replica of the Maverick flying paraglider car. It's like a parachute, a giant desk fan and a dune buggy all somehow had a baby. Enjoy soaring through the peaks, then land and go for a drive.
TO USE. take off at 30% throttle, pull up at 90mph. increase throttle to 40% to climb. throttle affects pitch, use between 25-45% to climb and dive. 33 ish % for level flight. Detacher 1 to release the wing (do at a bit of speed for the wing to fly off)
To Drive....on basic settings you can turn the steering on the rear wheels for more agility, has a tendancy on medium to occasionally tip. Can go 190mph, but at 80mph plus the steering becoms inaffective.

    Too bad, it was a good movie, I think it used to be streaming, I should have checked before I said that. The Grandfathers is about the same people, just later on. It's about the son of the man who made the maverick. I haven't seen it though.@PhilipTarpley

    That is pretty incredible. Looks like the movie isn't available on Netflix streaming, which is all I've got atm though.

    Don't use max throttle, especially on take-off or 'yer gonna have a bad time (see description). Great design, incredibly unique, flies great, looks great...what's not to like.

    I got the privilages of seeing the real thing at my old school down in Florida, it was pretty neat. The man who designed it was the son of a pilot missionary who would go on dangerous trips in the Amazon, and eventually was killed by the natives. it's an interesting story, you can watch it all on Netflix, "the end of the spear"
