check this out... Doug I expect you to make one soon...

it is in German but it is more about the craft than anything!!!

first flight of prototype, then the purpose built craft, then the German spoken doco.

I want one

Well, im gonna need a lot more ea81's

. Yeah Ive seen that before. I think you'd have to be barking mad to hop into it. Ive probably just seen too many multirotors fail in the battle with gravity, many being my own

, and a lot of them with High end electronics. You'd want to run redundant systems and go over every connection with a comb because it aint like a heli or plane. If something goes wrong your basically a big mass of crap way to high for comfort

.

Been doing some work to mine so on our next outing I will bring my bigger one. Can handle breeze a lot better and carry more cameras.

Regards

Doug

Yeah my biggest problem would be that it wouldn't auto rotate ... it would float like a brick.

would still love to fly one.

That's awesome. But I have an issue with just about anything that relies solely on batteries.

I'd love to fly a helicopter - ultimate job I reckon!

Cheers

I remember seeing the flying exercise ball, didn't know they were developing something serious

You'd need a ballistic parachute or something surely cos if it went belly up you'd be a goner.
