    Damn, just did that helicopter dance move and both my shoulders came out of their sockets. I'm now typing this post with my toes. Helicopters are just simply not justifiable.

    Really cool even if it seems a little bit of a tight fit. I’m not sure I could fit in there.

    Those uncovered blades make me really nervous. Will they have them covered on production models with a cage? I guess it’s good for mowing the lawn as is.

    Yeah - we're seeing the first generation of these types of vehicles. Regarding the safety of the blades, we'll probably see something like this "CycloRotor" model:


    Here's a similar product that might be more to your liking. A bit more expensive, though.

    Needs other thread ;), but the complete ****ing idiot visitors to National Parks, wildlands, etc are a pretty constant source of entertainment to me. Seems there's a new story every day.

    It's amazing just how ****ing stupid/clueless/inconsiderate that tourist/city people can be. Mostly it's harmless to nobody but themselves, but sometimes it's not.
