A privilege that has previously been restricted to responsible and qualified pilots. So what do you say we test her out? Roomier in here than I expected. But a spacious cockpit isn't why the Mantis has the hearts of law and order types a flatter. Let's get down to business and see if this thing does what it says in the brochure.
