    Around the first 10-15 seconds, all I could think was that it would be an epic way to mow your lawn.

    I wonder if you will have to have a pilot's license to operate one of these? Imaging taking it to work and buzzing right over stopped or slow moving traffic.

    That looks really cool, I like the way they are using the dual rotors on each end. Probably makes it a lot more stable. Looks like they have a kick starter for it. I hope the full scale version is fully controlled from vehicle, I heard them say it was remote controlled. Pretty interesting project for sure.

    It looks like it could most likely fall under the classifications of an ultralight. Maybe.

    looks like the biggest hurtle to jump will be designing some kind of protection from the rider getting his limbs chopped off in the rotors when he falls off or is carless when getting on or off.
