You can try your luck and fly around with this thing as you would with any other ultralight.

- turc1656 10y agoVery interesting. So it seems like a craft/vehicle such as this can get away with flying in congested areas because of it's maneuverability. What's more, we have a helipad on my building at ground level! And we happen to be on the water! I wonder if I could actually pull this off at some point in the future where I fly over the water and land directly on the helipad. Would need a place to keep the craft, though.
- elmar 10y agowell my startup is bulding an electrical self-flying fixed wing part 103 compliant for $40k, much more versatile than Kitty http://bit.ly/2pdeml5 http://bit.ly/2pdeml5 we will be doing pre-sales soon, maybe you would like to be an early adopter. It can be adapted with floats if you wish.

The company wants to work with the FAA to enable more ambitious vehicles, but it would rather play it safe in the early stages."
