Per FAQ, range 31 miles w/ 5 gal fuel, 10 gph consumption, and top speed 63 mph - 5 gal limit is FAA Ultralight restriction, I imagine the machine has the payload to carry more.
In PDX this would be a waste, but in the Bay Area - step onto the deck of your home in the Berkeley Hills, take off and fly across the Bay, land on the roof of your office building, door to door commute might be 15 minutes, by car over the Bay Bridge it can take an hour.
I wonder what it is like in winds? In fact, I wonder if they've flown it any significant altitude or distance at all? In the video, he never gets more than ten feet "altitude".
