Moller M400X Skycar to Fly Soon?

Looks like the Moller team is falling into the trap of making a major test flight into a media event, and in the process subjecting themselves to huge pressures to fly even if they see yellow flags waving.  Gents, please take a page from Scaled Composites' playbook.  Fly when you're ready and not a day sooner or later.  Unless things go REALLY well, or you are doing something that you have already done and just telling a little fib to your media guests, you are setting yourselves up for embarassment or worse.  (And BTW, the fib would backfire too eventually.)
