Cute, but just another scaled up quadcopter.

If that thing sheds a blade, guess who’s getting cut in half.

presumably owners will be able to fly them about on a private pilot's license in the USA as experimental/home built aircraft.

I can't see why you would need a license if you're flying off road and not in airplane air space.......

63MPH for 15 minutes is 15 miles. Gonna be hard-pressed to find a destination charger within that range (thinking in terms of “commuter vehicle”). 7 miles, able to do there-and-back, really doesn’t get you much.

Interesting toy if you have the money. And if you have that kind of money, you can probably get better toys.

For all the criticism, it’s an interesting step and I wish the company well in future developments.

I'd probably plant it after a hundred yards. This is more my speed, especially if you like winter recreation. May I introduce you to.......

Just saying... a strong gust of wind and your toast. Rain and your toast. hit a tree and your toast.

I wonder if a gen-pack could be added to extend the time.

I’ve been expecting to see what are essentially human-sized drones for some time now.
