JohnThanks John! Still a ways to go yet.

Good job!

Updated seat. What a pain that was! Minor change in the top cowling. Detail added to foot pegs.
-
Reworked the tail and started roughing in the handlebars.
-
Meh. Hate it.

@Richard
the small wheels is for beginner, like the training wheels?

Turn it into a render challenge then and who knows you may love the results.

Second that, nothing wrong with the design imho.
-
I meant the tail. You'll see. I have a far better idea and now I know how to achieve it. 
But thanks for compliments!

Been following this, progressing very nicely. Are you going to add some sort of windscreen at some point?

Yes. Still fine tuning the body.
This is more like what I had in mi.nd for the tail. Not perfect, but a lot, lot closer
-
Minor updates and some finer detailing.
-
Handlebar update. Almost done with them.
-
Update.
-
It might look better if you used the aircraft instrument layout, you could use various picture downloads for those. If it is going to fly it will need a few more of those instruments.

Good idea Mike.
Some more inspiration, albeit a few years behind your jet/thrust based design.....but something which should be available to BUY in less than 5 years.
I thought it may be a gimmick at first...but it highlights the inherent danger behind helicopter flight. You can't easily just jump out with a parachute in case of complete failure. With this new hoverbike, any engine issues and you'll have two parachutes to bring you back to land.
