Did this guy ever get off the ground?

It appears this all happened about a year and a half ago and I think he got shut down.

“letter last week ordering him to “refrain from further construction or development.” That was after the plane’s rear landing gear collapsed. ( ref )

Aww :(

I can’t imagine why he’d try to re-invent a road-worthy plane when he could buy a flying car.

I don’t know about that particular guy, but lots of people have built airplanes from scratch out of fiberglass and spare parts.
