As a 1500 hour pilot of Spam cans that will get me up to about 30 mph during taxi tests. I feel fully qualified to drive most $200,000 front-steer vehicles (cars) at over 100 mph, but I have zero time in a differential-braking vehicle, hence the 30 mph limit. Leave the ground? I don't think so. Gary Casey ES, max altitude 3 feet - and that took two of us.
