[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	The seating needs to change but wow! I thought it was a hoax at first but it looks like it is legit.176mph and up to 10,000 feet altitude....I want it!!!! My life expectancy would drop to minutes or less...but I really ,really want it!!! http://gearpatrol.com/2011/06/09/bmw-powered-twin-rotorhoverbike/ -----signature----- If their stupidity didn't shelter them from the full shame of their actions,their would be alot more republican suicides.

	Yeah I'm with you on the emotional pull of such a contraption, it would be pretty awesome. But getting dragged back down to earth by the practicalities of it, such a thing has a lot of drawbacks. I think you would be better off in a small chopper for a similar thrill...and a lot more control over your fate. heh -----signature----- (none)

	Except if the engine dies, I don't think that will auto-rotate. -----signature----- "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty, than those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson

	Yep, no auto-rotate and I'm really not seeing any kind of inherent control or stability in the thing. You would want to have a parachute on your back at all times. -----signature----- (none)

Wouldn't be much different than being in a helicopter,except there wouldn't be a huge man dicing blade spinning over your head. -----signature----- If their stupidity didn't shelter them from the full shame of their actions,their would be alot more republican suicides.
