Mooneymite Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Oh, boy..... Wait until OSHA, and all the consummer protection agencies start adding safety devices. It'll never fly again! What are a few lacerated body parts in the interest of aviation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Unbelievable....he still has both legs. It looked like he might loose one or both a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think the right question is, "what could possibly go right?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Well he had the right idea at first with plenty of guards and skids but it couldn't fly. I like the concept but it needs some development though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Two powered parachute backpacks hooked to a seat! You defiantly don't want to fly any higher then you want to crash. I always wanted one of those backpacks for inline skating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Only a few ideas come to mind... 1) Too high is a problem... (Not the fall, just the sudden stop) 2) Too low is a problem... (Shattered pieces of composite props flying everywhere at a few hundred mph) 3) Slow in ground effect is his best chance of living... Suggestion: add a tail. That way he will see his demise arising. Reminder: Keep both eyes open for the above suggestion to work. Suggestion2: get bigger field. Back yard airport is going to get costly. Sugestion 3: diet enough to be able to afford adding training wheels. sugestion 4: Kevlar / bullet proof pants... Carry on. You are almost a winner of the Darwin prize for aviation! -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yetti Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 He has never flown a quad copter that lost a motor. They fall amazingly fast. being able to sync the rpms is hard with engines. Easier with electric motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyDave Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Now this is absolutely COOL!!! http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Hoverboard-Record-Shattered-226164-1.html Can you imagine a "highway in the sky" of these things on their daily commute into the city?
