Quote from the article:
“That's pretty wild,” said Russ Leisner of Philadelphia as he looked over the black, 15-foot-long vehicle that can be driven, flown or floated. About 20 onlookers gathered around the vehicle, which Saint called the first true flying car that meets special light aircraft requirements. The 987-pound machine - which bears aircraft tail number N91MV - has a 75-inch belt driven propeller on the rear that is used during flight. Saint, founder of Dunnellon based i-Tec (The Indigenous People's Technology and Education Ministry Center), said the idea for a short takeoff and landing all-terrain car, plane and airboat sprang from his family's missionary work in remote areas in Ecuador. Saint, 59, is the son of the late Missionary Aviation Fellowship pilot Nathaniel Saint, who was killed in Ecuador in 1956 along with four other missionaries, by the indigenous Waodani people. Saint forgave the Waodani people, including the man named Mincaye, who killed his father with a spear. In the 2005 movie, “End of the Spear,” detailing the story, he flew a small yellow plane replicating his father's missonary travels. |

Awesome, Steve! I know it has been your hearts desire to help the missionaries to get in and out of remote areas. The Lord has blessed you with your knowledge and I hope and pray that everything will work out to mass produce to get the cost affordable for the missionaries. Maybe the Lord will sent in a sponsor to support the need to donate them to the missionaries.
God is able. I'm sure you dad is looking down and is proud of you. Teresa former OCA
