First, here is a link to an article on the original Hiller platform:

There may be little, if any interest in trying to produce this critter, but I have a very specific need for such a vehicle in CFS2, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to attack this.

In truth, I don't even require a complete "model" per se. In fact, just the opposite is true. it would be ideal if the finished model had a visual and "physical" presence that basically looks like a flat, featureless platform, roughly three feet across, that the pilot would stand on.

And performance is also a secondary thing. As long as the thing can hover and move slowly about for about ten minutes or so, that's all it needs.

I realize that there's probably little interest in tackling such a weird project, but iIthought it would be worth the time to ask.
