Openers Blackfly "Ultralight" shown at Oshkosh is apparently going on sale soon. (weeks?)
Seems more like a giant drone than a plane, and CBS news report this weekend is convinced it is a flying car.

I don't know how much flight experience the reporter really has (said none) but they turned him loose with the craft - and let the electronics take care of the flight.
Their website says 343lbs empty. 89 pounds overweight.
Part 103 says 24lbs for chute, 30lbs amphibious body, and 10lbs per outrigger
Seems they must be calling the 4 stubby wings individual outriggers. Buys them 94 lbs.
Opener
Price seems a little fluid - Web says cost of a SUV, TV report says closer to $200K
