Well, check out this 16-rotor whopper that can carry a whole man: <a href="http://www.e-volo.com/Home.html">http://www.e-volo.com/Home.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kkmulticopter.com/">http://www.kkmulticopter.com/</a> (Be sure to watch the lower of the two big videos on this page. It's very dashing, and there's a splash at the end that qualifies this post for Splash &amp; Dash.) <br /><br />Another cool thing on this page is the rotating globe, with your current location indicated as the globe turns. At least, that's what I see: 'Hopewell, Virginia.'          Russ Garner - Jan 08,2012   Viewers  | Reply     I don't know Don, did you get to fly today.          Don Maxwell - Jan 08,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Is it that obvious?          Troy iRMT Heavy Maint. Enriquez - Jan 09,2012   Viewers  | Reply     very cool Don.          Don Maxwell - Jan 09,2012   Viewers  | Reply     I saw a NASA guy demonstrating one of the little four-rotor UAVs at a fly-in last spring. He used an iPhone to control it via wi-fi. It had two cameras, one pointing straight down and the other horizontal. The 'down' cam doubled as the reference to enable the UAV to hover in place autonomously, even in a 10 knot breeze. You could see the view from each cam on the iPhone. Very cool!          Russ Garner - Jan 09,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Well I can tell, I have days like that.          Troy iRMT Heavy Maint. Enriquez - Jan 09,2012   Viewers  | Reply     I really enjoyed the video of the guy with the video monitor glasses flying through the <br />warehouse.<br />I wonder what a setup like that costs?          Don Maxwell - Jan 09,2012   Viewers  | Reply     The NASA guy said his cost about $300.
