If you guys had some serious extra money laying around would you buy one of these?

Man I could imagine taking one and flying for miles and miles with the built in camera. Flight time is from 50 minutes (fully loaded) to 4 hours and range up to 15 miles. Imagine when fuel cell technology really takes off and with an amateur radio license, you could fly this thing far and long!

Oh the Wonder of cruising the skies...

I'd want something faster, so I could feel like I was really living.

I would prefer their heli model for $2500. Besides the stall speed on that puppy is 21mph, how ya gonna get any good pics of your topless sunbathing neighbors, when your flyby's are at 25mph+. I would rather be hovering.

And how long would it be before you get arrested for spying on a military base?

It would be fun until a missile gets sent it's way.

I like how their website is lifted directly from Apple's website. They didn't even bother changing any of the graphics around even a little.

And no. I'd want a plane I can ride in!
