Yea, interesting project, heard about it from @Plankton_ETN. Havenāt done my research on it yet.
I am aware the the FAA in the US is currently looking into a sort of rewards program for itās WINGS safety program. Government is slow to adopt anything so not sure if theyāve even considered a crypto. Iāll look for the articleā¦

Yikes. I refuse even to switch from a standard to an automatic vehicle. I canāt imagine Iāll ever be comfortable being flown around by something like thatā¦ As cool as it looks.

O wow, nice @KarEnTam!
Iāve been following Pipestrel for some time now.
Congrats being able to work on what your passionate about. So few get to.
My flying is a mix of hobby and charity/ service, mixed emotions on being a commercial pilot. Although Iām mechanical, no A&P license to work on em yet.
I look forward to what you can bring to this thread.
