    Anyone else yearn to live in a fantasy setting where they could get a plane like this and go from airfield to airfield living as a traveling trader?

      😂 I think that’s a cool idea; but I reckon the running cost in fuel alone, without maintenance, would make this implausible.

          You could easily make enough money to do it. So long as the things you’re trading aren’t legal! Haha

        There’s a Mr. Fusion on board to power the retrofitted pulse engines. Which is a good thing, since all the nanobots that nonstop repair the airframe take about half the energy produced (the engines taking the other half, of course).

        Just remember to chuck a couple Cyberdyne Model-101 skeletons in the fuel chamber and you’re good for another year or so.

        That’s the part of tale spin that breaks the immersion for me, the fuel costs!

      Is this like a high fantasy setting or a more sci-fi one. I’ve had this for the former. Though with a number of different vehicles.
