    Not sure I'd want to "fly" this thing... but it's incredible that someone designed and built it.

    Nah, just sunscreen, trust me. ;)

    ...and now I'm thinking about hunting applications. Going from 9K to 12K in minutes, without hiking. Hmmmmmm....

    WWW could have used that on a hunt in MT. :rofl: :lol: (topo maps looked like a steep hike.... turned out it was more like rock climbing with fully loaded pack, and add a strong thunderstorm followed by a day of rain). Very cool idea BK, and bring a drone to carry the pack?

    Too much of the video cut off. Makes one wonder what was in between those shots? Great idea though, although not at 10,000 feet!

    I'd want one, maybe two! It looks like one heck of a lot of fun. I'd bet I'd be up in the air ALL the time!

    I wonder if it can fly upside down! :hair:
