I know this is way off topic, but I know there are some R/C guys in here that would like to see this:

Unbelievable. And I used to think winding up a rubber band and letting a Balsawood airplane fly was a hoot!

Yup, that thing is pretty freakin' amazing....it was almost like something from a science fiction movie when he blasted the 'copter straight up at full power!

Wow! That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Can you imagine the possibilities when they scale that thing up? If I wasn't building a real airplane, this is something I could really get into. GPS, height control, oh my!
I was thinking how cool this would work for a platform for a video camera. You could shoot from angles, heights, and perspectives that just aren't possible any other way. Can you imagine the possibilities? Well, I did a little searching and found some amazing videos taken with one of these. Check this out:

Promise me you'll watch this in HD mode, expanded to full screen. Crank up the speakers! It's only about 4 min.
