Totally agree it’d be great in those situations, but I just don’t think there are a lot of people who need that. It’s probably a lot of fun to fly.

It’s just stressful to think if something isn’t going right in flight and I want time to think and react.. every minute is 5% of my battery. I also saw in another post that fully loaded the battery life is 12 minutes total.. nearly 10% a minute brand new (which every charge cycle reducing my total energy).

They also said the batteries are swappable, so if I had 3 in a rotation they could all be charging/flying with up to an hour of flight. Sounds like a fun day!

If something goes wrong, you're done for. If you're close to the ground, you have no time to do anything. Even if the flight controller discovers the failure early enough and cuts the motors, you'll still probably flip over/smash into the ground. If you're high enough, you'll just fall to your death.

Better have an emergency parachute for when power fails. Doubt autorotation is an option here.
