Love the yoga ball as a soft landing device, can't believe the pilot trusted his life to an RC controller though and he never had covers for all those props which would have sliced him up like a blender if things went pear shaped.

Awesome stuff, just totally jealous as we are trying something similar and they flew first :-)

    Awesome this is the beginning! Can't wait what are these guys up to after 5 years.

    Hope they don't have the "fly away" issue with their altitude hold! :)

    BTW.: it's     also a good incentive to everyone about losing a few pounds... LOL
