I was only slightly surprised to see ballistic chute on the list of parts. Or that the $22k was a deposit... $96k I think? This may be the folks who did a vid of a prototype with the Flite-test crew, and they had it (no pilot) up way high doing flips and everything. So maybe? One way to find out. Lemme just see if the couch has enough loose change.

Max pilot weight is 210, and the 20 minute range is with a 185lb pilot in perfect conditions. At max weight you'd probably be lucky to get 15 minutes.

Maybe, back in the day -
She reminds me of a secretary I once had, back in the 70s, in our corporate HQ, in Westport, CT. For those that can remember the days where managers had a secretary that sat outside their office. Got your coffee in the mornings, took shorthand, filed things......ahhhh.....the good ol days. |

When your boss says, "don't stay to late." and you only work 11.5 hours instead of the 14 you needed to work. Is it still count as staying too late?

Unless you are your own boss, yes.

but then it should raise some questions on his grip of reality if he is the boss, but he's having complete conversations with a 'boss' that he believes is a separate entity.

I had a ballistic chute on my hang glider harness. My hook-in weight was a lot more than my weight. Not only the chute but 2 drinking bladders, one containing saturated glucose solution, a sandwich, numerous muesli bars, a small cool bag with a freeze block to keep my insulin cool in 45 degree heat, a book, spare batteries for the radio. I was self-sufficient for a day, maybe 2. On a couple of flights I safety tied a blood glucose tester to the base bar and to say it was tricky testing while flying is a bit of an understatement. I gave up on that idea.

Wouldn't it be relatively easy to put the propellers above or below the person? Maybe not quite as compact but still.

Well, yeah, but as long as he's lucid enough to shitpost here, I think we're golden.
