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 :D. 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 :p.

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