From the looks of the elevator... take off speed,
cruise speed and landing speed are all the same :)

An airplane needs to fly at 200 MPH or more to be useful
as a cross country vehicle. Anything below that and
you might as well drive. $200,000 for a light
sport aircraft makes no sense.

A good journalist would have researched and found
Molt Taylor had done almost as well 60 years ago!

Here's my take on the "roadable airplane" and why the concept
itself is flawed.
Anyone ever come out to a parking lot to find their car
dented, scratched, bumped and or otherwise different from
when they left it? Given that this is a certified aircraft,
one now must find an A&P to inspect and repair. Even in an
experimental, a good ding on a control surface, one would
want to look inside for hidden damage, as you weren't there
to witness the event causing the damage.

A certified aircraft just isn't the kind of thing I would
want exposed to the general population, parked next to Joes bar & grill.
Every fender bender will ground you, and cost you.

I'll fly to the airport, and rent a car. Cheaper and the
risk benefit ratio is a no brainer. I can't imagine what
the insurance will be on these things, but the underwriter
will learn in a hurry just where the rates will bring returns,
not just red ink.
Your results may vary.
