| #4 Pretty trusting nobody tosses a bottle or something at him. Green Goblin had the problem but he was experienced with his glider thing. |

| #3 the pilot is thin but probably weighs over 100# so the drone he is on is a pretty advanced model as he is only 20 feet or so in the air, he may be exempt from many of the 'you need permit to fly' rules |

| #2 POSSIBLE ISSUES: Hover Jousting. Or is that a Pro? |

| #1 Great Prototype. I see some legitimate immediate uses. Some off the cuff estimates: Delivery/parcel/Human lift at about 180 lbs 8 rotors (2x8 16 or 4x8 32 blades) Estimated speed 0-10 mph Estimated lift height 0-100+/- ft. Estimated run time 15-20 mins Max. Appears to use hand control, NOT Auto weight balancing Gyro controlled. Appears Not to be Fly by Helmet/Eye controlled. Cost to build estimate $2,500 to $5,000 POSSIBLE ISSUES: Not safe over pedestrians Likely violated a volume of FAA registration & flight regs. Person likely subject to arrest for Public Endangerment and maybe Federal issues also. SUMMARY I want one |
