thanks for the link - I saw the big spools in the video and was trying to figure out what was going on. I presume that means that flight time is limited by cord length (rather than having a circulating loop like a bike chain)?

It would be interesting if they could get a version with six blades where (3) are required to provide lift and it oscillates between spooling/unspooling three of the six at a time such that you fly with 3 whilst spooling the other three - then "shift" between spools.

  I like it: a 'pull-only' transmission system to take advantage of the tensile strength of lightweight materials.
