That's awesome. I notice it is displaying a beacon - I'm guessing this falls under FAA jurisdiction (ultralight aircraft perhaps? If so, no using this in/near major cities). I suspect the federal, state and local regulations that would apply to this thing would make it frightfully expensive and impractical to ever operate. Not to mention the liability insurance cost.

Damn cool invention. A shame our governmental bureaucratic quagmire will kill it. It'll probably end up getting used in a big way in China and Mexico in a few years though - places that have a more sane approach to governance.
