There's piece of mind knowing that if you lose propulsion the aircrafts glide characteristics are similar to that of a stone or rock.

It's heartwarming to know, a millionaire can fly for 2$ an hour.
My sleep pattern is restored

"I can fly for $2 an hour, I just had to buy a multimillion dollar aircraft to do it"

Don't fly it higher than you're willing to fall.

This is the kind of guy who would think going down in a submersible to see the Titanic is a great idea 😂

[josharnold.]

You wonder why people keep saying they seen UFOs out here when this guy's flying something like this😂

[BIZZLLENIZZLLE]

Just imagine thousands of people flying things like this around town. They should make a horror movie about it.

Taking DUI's to a whole new level.

There's a reason why they mute the audio when the thing is flying.

I just need a version of that, that seats 4-5 can carry some groceries and a minimum range of 500 miles per charge under 45k 😂

[Tbaz]

"I can fly for 2$ an hour." Gets 20 minutes of flight time per charge. 😂

Emergency Procedures…
‘Well, I’ve had a nice life. I’ll see you later.’😂😂😂

With my luck I'd get the extension cord caught in the prop.

If John Denver had one of those today, he still would have crashed.

[lucasgroves]

The underbody will stay looking nice as long as you only land on carpet. What a great design.

[jandrews]

The appeal of these types of aircraft is the ease of use from a small drone graduate. The huge downside is that we end up with people with a lot of simulator time but no practical experience with airspace, traffic, weather, etc.

We need to stay tuned in to the local news from where this man lives

[KelvindeWolfe]

After the crash his smile was what identified him.

Road rage is about to go to a higher level

30 minute of flying fun! Unless you run into high winds, than it's 120 minutes of sheer terror!😬
