Just think of the possibilities of uses by the military. Or guys can buy one for the better half so she can get a cold one from the fridge to him faster.

I was surprised at the lift! A one liter Coke, that's pretty heavy for a smallish model.

Scaled up a bit you could send it to Pakastan and pick up bad guys. (Or shoot the hellout of them!)

Yes a larger model with a 7.62mm mini gun and hellfire missiles is in order, full nighttime infra-red capability as well..........Like something out of "Terminator"

Thats pretty impressive, that guy flying it must have had a lot of practice because I have tried to fly an RC helicopter before and its really hard actually. Maybe this design makes it easier though.
