"Hello Josip,
Thank you for the compliment. I most definitely are continuing, have a look: https://www.facebook.com/Sky-Hopper-1856511447908122/
Regarding the Ehang 184, I have some info on that:
Take off weight
300
kg
Power of 1 motor
13.25…"

"Hi Josip, you raise a good question. Do multicopters have size limit?
I believe they have. I started some 5 years ago with the looking into if you could scale up a quadcopter to carry a person. The answer to question was Yes, as you can see in this…"

"Rob and Gary,
It's a nice little chopper and an impressive video. Issue with all conventional helicopters is that they are difficult to pilot and very expensive to maintain.
Flying choppers like this will be a manual task for the foreseeable future.…"

"This thread that Brad started in 2012 remains very interesting! I notice that over the years I have come back various times.
I have build a "large scale electric multicopter" for personal flight and together with a small group of people are in the…"

"Thank you Paul. Weight of the batteries is a little over 25 pounds and flight time is limited to just several minutes. We build this model as a technology demonstrator. We learned a lot in the process and are using that for our new prototype that…"
"For those interested in our endeavor, we now have website as well as some more videos.

Video of our first manned flight
There is a lot of knowledge at readers at DIYDrones. I'm looking forward to you comments."

Sky-Hopper first manned flight!Last weekend we made our first unrestricted free flight. This makes us one of handful of global endeavors to have achieved such a goal. The flight itself went remarkable uneventful. Everything worked as it should do…

"Tom, yes, good progress. I'm lifting 135 kg with a multicopter using these motors and props."
"John, I'm not to worried about the inertia of a 18" prop in relation to the weight and drag of the aircraft. I'm experimenting with a multicopter with 12 30" props and I'm having little issue with inertia. Even with payloads up to 80kg's. I do…"
"Jason,
With respect to your comments.
"First is safety. If you have an electrical failure or and IMU failure, or a glitch of some sort, there is no way possible, short of a parachute, to save yourself. You can't glide, you can't auto-rotate."=> The…"

"Brad, from other post I realize that you have also been expertienting with a manned multicopter. With respect to CG comments you make, what was the CG set up of your manned multicopter? Is there some more information you want to share on project?"
"Hello Jim,
No website yet. I do maintain a facebook page where I also follow fellow manned multicopter initiatives.
I also posted a link to a testflight with one of our Proof of Concept. The POC uses the same motor/prop combination that we'll use in…"

"Hello Jim,
I'm very interested to learn more. In fact, I'm developing such an aircraft right now in The Netherlands. We call our initiative Sky-Hopper.

Peter"

"Hello Guys,
I'm actually testing with a quadcopter with these motors. The motors work fine, but I have considerable problems with the ESCs I'm using. I would be interested to share information with other builders using these motors. Does anyone know…"
