Thats interesting.I wonder if there is any video anywhere?

Took 90 years to get to this

I think if modern props were available it would have flown much better.

Heres some better footage:

Gotta love these guys

It makes me think... I want to try to build a gas multirotor one day (RC).... with a couple hour flight time!

Heres an early bicopter

and some guy called Sikorsky seems to know what he`s doing

Love the way he flys with his suit and trilby.

Thats some good footage! Haha safety first! Lol. Another thing that would have helped is the computers that we will have flying these things for us these days!
