Oh shit, I see what the fucking did there. It looks like they're lifting the stick, doesn't it? But actually the stick is fastened to a point off to the right of the viewing screen. By increasing the fans' rotational speed it can move the fans, the plastic platform AND the stick upward. So they're actually just using the stick for both control (so it doesn't get a bit wayward and fly off in some odd direction) and as a weight (to test what load the fans can carry). Clever.

Looks that stick is balanced and copter placed in that balance point, so it carries only itself weight. According to video, such small aircraft can handle itself in the air. But yeah, need to add some boobs to fix ratings.

You guys are morons. This was built 12 years ago as a proof of concept. In 12 years there's probably a powerful version of one of these actually in use.
