This clever invention will fly into places that could be dangerous/difficult for man to set foot.

That's really clever! Impressive that it was made from easy to obtain components too

Good find TC!

That's a nifty little device and I can imagine that if it doesn't get picked up for defence/SAR purposes, it would make a great little toy! I'd get one!

Although, as someone in the YouTube comments said, this really reminds me of those flying things from HL2/Fallout 3!
