Paul,

Below is the latest news from the Moller International web site.  Does anyone have more details?

"The Skycar continues to show progress as we perform tests both on the ground and in tethered airborne flights. As with the M200X, the stability of the aircraft can only be addressed once the mechanical systems are all perfectly tuned and running. We have been able to lift the Skycar off the tether with all engines operating at 6,500 RPM. Since the engines are able to operate at over 7,000 RPM we are very comfortable with the reserve power available. We have been "dialing in" the redundant digital stability system over the past few weeks. Our goal is to achieve the easy stable flights we performed with the M200X's analog system after it was "dialed in". With daily, and frequently multiple tests per day, we are making steady but cautious progress. Once this step is complete, we will be able to demonstrate the extended stable and controllable hover flight we have all been anxiously awaiting."

Sounds like more of the same -- of their money raising propaganda.
