Holy crap that looks dangerous. Kinda like the Jet pack guy flying over those canyons.
Looks fun but man you have to have a big pair of stones.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

Looking for Fluid Dynamics Engineers?  Might there be a control problem?  The only picture of it in the air had it tethered to the ground.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I wonder how much one of those will set you back? 

I hope it's enough to keep most US drivers out of the airspace.  We don't need as many clueless pilots as we have automobile drivers.

It would make rolling gun battles interesting. Could you imagine what this would have looked like in the air?

Eh, with the right software it's controllable. ;)

It sez it costs $40,000 and can reach heights of 10,000'- I'd be worried about being mistaken for a UFO or space alien and get shot at. Controling it may be a real bear too. No Thanks it's not for me.

Is it because it has more switches than just 'on/off'?

Hey Swake, how's your little one liking UGA?

O/T. I just find we are living in amazing times as far as technology goes.
