Super wobbly. Looks like the structure holding the rotors together has a lot of flex in it. Makes my engineering brain panic.

I could see this being a rescue device for difficult terrain where a helicopter can't fit.

Recently some coast guard pilots had to risk their lives to save a dog on a hard to reach beach. This thing could have zipped into a tighter space than a chopper and been out in under 15 minutes.

if you think that's scary, you should see how much flex actual wings and helo props exhibit

think palm tree vs oak tree in the wind
