Hovering for a minute or so is quite a bit different than flying that contraption any appreciable distance ... that's for sure. Funny though. :)

looks like he was "pogo-ing" in ground effect.. loud little buzzer, too.

By the time OSHA or the Transportation DE-partment has a go at him, the prop cage alone will make it too heavy to fly...

Yea, a prop cage, controls, stabilizer prop, a cabin of some sort so you don't plummet to your death:rotf:

There was a Japanese Inventor at COMDEX a few years ago, he had invented a unit very close to that one.

He had videos of flying from his yard to his office in Tokyo where he landed on the buildings roof.

He had a Ballistic Parachute mounted under the seat aiming rearward.

The way it was cabled to the machine meant if deployed he hung face down with the rotors to the side.

Very Cool.
