(haha my first ever zzz article i wrote is in this issue too, the one with eht pic of the portal from lost in space.)
THAT MAKES ME SUPERCOOL AND PARTIALLY DRUNK1@
(i see they are still prohibitively expensive and ... expens... oh i said htat)

well, it's pretty impressive for a BATTERY powered FLYING/HOVERING machine (weight is very important).
perhaps they should use a central combustion engine with seperate clutching + chain running out to each propellor. this would make it more expensive i spose (clutching is $), and also the single combustion engine would be a lot heavier than the 4 seperate electric motors, but using combustion fuel would greatly improve the flight time.

Yea, catch-22, I know. But can't justify $1000 for 5 minute flight times!
Combustoin engines would weigh more, but are more powerful, so it balances out somewhat. If the torque conversion/gear ratio could be expanded, you could use a smaller engine and get something decent. The engines for the RC cars are pretty light.
