with pulse jets on the rotor ends? This was not a foldable thing by any means - rigid fiberglas body, plexi canopy except where it joined the fibreglas shell. 2 seater. Took more than a rope to start this one - no internal combustion engine in the sense that there was a flywheel.

I forgot how they dealt with what would ordinarily be a rear prop; obviously there was something to prevent the body from rotating - maybe it didn't need one since the jets threw the rotors around rather than an engine inside the body rotating it.

Might be a treat to see the Swiss Army Knife model you described, however. By the way I just recalled that I was associated with a company whose president invested in a foldable canoe mfg. venture - called it Folbote or Foldbote or some such. It was a thick plastic (1/4" maybe) shaped like a pita bread but oblong instead of round, and more of a hullshape when opened up. Used the seats to rigidize the thing - maybe 2 seats in all. Quite clever use of plastic of a particular type, must have been fused together at what would be a keel-point.

Ever see anything like that? May still be in existence for all I know - and that was about 30 years ago.
