Comment on The World's First Mass-Produced Flying Car Is Here and It Costs $1 Million
HiTekRedNek@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoWhat’s crazy is you can build a kit plane for less than what this costs, and flying a kit plane does NOT need a pilot license in the US.

Woah woah woah. Not even close to true. The only things you can fly without a license is a single seat ultralight, paramotor, and similar things that most people would barely think of as a plane. There are very specific and restrictive requirements, both on the aircraft and what you can do with it.
Anything bigger, homebuilt or not, will require a LSA license at least ans many (if not most) a full PPL.

Then that’s changed since the last time I toyed with the idea. Which, granted, was probably 20 years ago…
