Before these tiny flyers give you any big ideas, let’s make something clear:

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you and a bunch of your friends all buy these, then sew your combined collection to a single pair of coveralls, then draw straws to see who gets to wear them, then pass out all the remote-controllers and all try to lift off at once, hoisting the coveralls into the air with your friend inside them.

First of all, it almost certainly wouldn’t work. You’d have to get all the little Intelli Nano UFOS lifting in the same direction simultaneously, which would probably be impossible.

Second, a manned, DIY backyard test flight is not the purpose to which these things were intended to be put. They’re toys. You play with them. And while a battery failure, pilot error, or a gust of wind may cause them to crash from time to time, these things are tiny, so they should crash harmlessly. There is no reason an Intelli UFO mishap should result in a bone-shattering 60-foot drop onto a concrete parking lot for you or any of your friends.

And finally, it’s just not responsible. Would it be totally super awesome? Well, of course it would. But intelligent adults with good heads on their shoulders don’t get to try things just because they would be totally super awesome in the short term. That’s why we’re all at desk jobs instead of trying to make the “music thing” work, and how we’ve accumulated so few animal bites.

So, just to reiterate: No one is going to get a group of Intelli UFO owners together to make and test a multi-propellor flying coveralls suit, OK? Instead, you’re just going to buy a couple of these to play with at work or to stash in your drawer as emergency gifts for your kids’ friends’ unexpected birthday parties.

Of course, we can’t stop you from ignoring our advice, and trying the flying coveralls experiment, and taking video of it, and posting it in today’s product discussion thread. But we reserve the right to express strong disappointment in your lack of judgment. And shaky camera handling.
