Hands-on video over at engadget about this hardware from Rotor Concepts. Interestingly they cite a max. altitude of 2000 feet...where are they getting their permits??? {-Just a thought} I'd love to see a hardware breakdown on this.

I'd have to agree with most here. I think the DIYDrones product is more capable, PLUS you have this awesome community constantly upgrading the software for you!! I did some research on the company / products and have to say (personal opinion) - not impressed.
It's a standard component available from numerouscvendors. I dont think MK have the IP on the component!
I have to admit, I saw the ID-1 SWAT at NAB and was not impressed, pretty much a toy such that the position hold was due to the environment and counter rotating props and manually control (same pilot, he's the owner I think and a decent pilot mind that).The NTSC camera was nice, but you can easily tell it was something of HK quality (likely made in the area). It was selling well at NAB though.
The HPQ-1 could be using knock off Mikrokopter parts (which is causing a stink with Holger and folks--hence why they are close sourcing a lot of their new stuff), and the HPQ-2 looks like it's at least the XAircraft 650 frame.
This is just marketing language. And i think the reporter doesnt really know what stable mean. He should watch tri and quad video such as rcexplorer, and MK aerial footage.
Scott is refering to law not physical capability....
Im not convinced by this one.... It looks both pricey ($899 dollar list) and fairly toyish.
Hopefully im wrong... The baro *looks* like the same one used on the MK so thats a good sign as its pretty accurate...
