Wow! And I thought balsa & rubber band planes were cool. This is just amazing, maneuvering around walls & obstacles. No PINGs AFAIK, Duane!

Sure is.
When they have a totally autonomous helicopter that can stay airborne for a hour or more in wooded and windy environment, then I'll be impressed.
MIT's plane is a first and it has significant power/endurance advantages over any rotorcraft.
Then I want one in MY auto, and see it take off and land.
