So remember that Malloy Aeronautics company from a few years back? (HBA thread: https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/hangar-flying/10444-hoverbike.html) The guys who said they needed over a million bucks just to get this ugly-arse thing flying?

And who've managed to make a deal with the Department of Defense even though they've got little more than a fancy model drone to show for all their bombast?

Well, Colin Furze, that guy from youtube who builds jet engines n' stuff in his garage, works a little differently.
He's simply said to himself, "Sod it, I'm gonna build myself a focken hoverbike" and then gone ahead and done it.
