Re: Human flight aboard a Quad-copter (16 actually)
Nope nope nope! I have seen enough R/C props shatter to know that all the money in the world would not convince me to put 16 of them at groin level...
 I think it's pretty cool though that they are using a standard Spektrum radio to control it though.

True engineers use a yoga ball as their main shock absorber
 So cool. This would be really fun to fly.

Re: Human flight aboard a Quad-copter (16 actually)
If this were 16 props from a single power plant, then it'd be real news. This is just someone ballsy enough to hope in the middle of 16 individual motor-prop combos. We all know that 16 motors are more reliable than 4, or even 1 for that matter

Was it just me, or did that thing look like a giant hovering agricultural machine?
