I don't believe a damn thing that Moller says unless there's a dealership going up with a truckload of the damn things sitting in town.

Hmmmmm... I wonder whether this will do any better than the Avrocar did, either in public support or in physical performance.

Consideriung that when I called Moller a few years back to asks for some three views of teh M300 for model making purposes and they refused to even talk about anything but their current-at-the-time version (M400 or 500) I highly doubt they'd be willing to go back still further to that one - and the performance as demonstrated for the M200 on the Discovery Channel show from ~2 years ago was not at all impressive - it couldn't get out of ground effect, and tipped over when it tried. Fortunately they had a cable from a crane for safety purposes.
