Yes, there IS a Flying Iltis ...

[Wayne McGee]

Don't even get me started on that useless piece of kit.
I do dissagree with the apples/oranges arguement between an Iltis and HumVee. The vehicles from the ground up were designed from two entirely different perspectives. I can state for a fact that if I named the route, I would leave a hummer hung up and wedged in the woods, eating my dust.
The point I was making, was that, from the beginning, there was no intention of using that fine little range car for performing the tasks that it was designed for.
If in your experience you discovered flaws in the vehicle, I would suggest that the problem was on this side of the pond.
