The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
The best part is that it's probably light enough (under 254 lb) to qualify as an ultralight under CFR 14 Part 103, meaning you don't need a license to fly it (but you can't fly it near densely-populated areas or at night).
This is true of two other helicopters, the AirScooter and the Mosquito Air. I'm not sure whether I'd prefer one of these, which is more like a real vehicle, or the one you posted about, which is probably more compact and easier to take somewhere.
I wonder how the endurance compares with that of a rocketbelt.
