I thought , “Whats a parachute gonna do when you fly into the hotel at 50mhp?” Maybe wishful thinking like the speed boat cockpits with drag shoots on them. Makes for a great show when it all goes to hell.

3 or 4 gallons of fuel is going to induce a weight differential over flight time. Aand would produce a satisfying secondary when hit with a tracer/incendiary round.

Good technology with a talented pilot. But the first time someone smacks into a bridge face-first...

Once I get to heaven I won't need equipment to fly around, and there's no crashing there. I'm 68--I'll wait.

YES! Exactly! If I cant understand it enough to see how it will benefit ME, my second thought is how to shoot it down.

The Segway is pretty awesome but suffered from poor marketing.

When it debuted on TV I was amazed- until they announced the price-tag, $6000. (at the time that was a lot of money).

At $1,500, they would have sold millions of them.

Even $25 drones have accelerometers and inertial sensors. Can’t believe this doesn’t, overridden by operator inputs just as in the drone.

This one uses propellers. Don’t know specs but should be more fuel efficency thus having longer range.
