    It looks like it’d tip over going 30mph on a 20 degree turn

      It does seem a little less impressive than the reverse, doesn’t it?

      I don’t see any suspension or turning equipment, either 🤨

    Cool! I’ve always wanted a vehicle that could travel at the speeds that planes taxi without the ability to fly!

    Removable wing set, or just a one-way conversion?

      Looks like the wheels have been connected to the engine so yeah, heavily modified

      I think it’s one-way.

    Sort of. It had wings that could detach and then you could pull behind you like a trailer. detachable prop. Very little capacity. But it was supposed to be a commuter flying “car” so you didn’t need much more than your brief case and your lunch in those days.
