I Need a Bigger Backyard

JetWhine, via one of their contributors Scott Spangler, points out a very cool airplane that I must have missed in my pursuit of flying on the cheap. Their article points to a company called Valley Engineering that produces a line of aircraft called the "Backyard Flyer". Powered by VW engines these guys throw out some pretty impressive performance numbers... all this for about $30,000. Where do I sign?
Video Preview after the break...
The aircraft in the video is their single seat offering, but they manufacture a dual occupancy version as well.
