I've flown an R22 and it is totally nothing like riding a motorbike - it actually managed to scare me, and I thought that particular gene was long gone!

Now, how the hell do I get on the list for delivery? :D

WTF?! Yes, I'd definitely get someone to test it, because the words "seriously foccing unstable" come to mind!

I can't see how the hell it would stay upright if you happened to lean over slightly, it's not like a helicopter which "hangs" beneath its rotors, as far as I can see on this thing the centre of gravity is *above* the props, so I'd think you'd end up hanging off the bottom at the slightest imbalance...
