Anyone wanna try sleeping with a helicopters showing ads flying around at low altitude at his neighborhood ? I’d say a noise would be a bit of an annoyance here :-)

Really? you honestly think that couldn’t be engineered around? I think it could, and probably already has been… Now that we’re going that way, I feel a post coming on:

Helicopters are a simple thing.

Remember that Mythbusters episode where they tested to see if something the size of a stamp would fuck up a helicopter in the air. Obviously it never did, but I imagine even 0.5lbs of battery/PCB/LEDS at the end of the blades would screw with it. Mayhaps if it were built INTO the blades and EACH blade had the same amount of drag and added weight.
