look at this also    

Could it be the phantom 10?

Will be a hell of a job doing the compass calibration dance with this.

Frankly, thinking about the potential problems, I think I'd rather try the lawn chair, helium balloons and pellet gun technique!

The guy who actually did that (helium, lawn chair and pellet gun) got high enough in the air that he was ultimately cited as being a hazard to navigation!

Not to mention putting on and taking off the props......AH geeze, and the backpack for this........well it's a good thing I have a pickup truck!

And taking it thru customs

Imagine how loud that thing must be.
