    $15k-$20k without batteries or controller... and here I thought that hobby drones were expensive.

    I thought it was gas powered at first. The tanks are for the crop treatment.

    I wonder if 4 of those mini V8 engines connected to bevel gears to give opposite rotation of the props wouldn't be lighter overall and more efficient
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Like the ones on the drill? It would improve the range. Probably lighter too. Those electric motors are pretty heavy.

    Yep 4.5 Hp 12,000 RPM can even get a super charger for them
    I bet 8 of them with 16 rotor blades would carry humans FAA cert might be problematic
