Always a worry when they don't say. I hope it is not one of those "If you must ask the price, you obviously can't afford it"

That is so cool, however $100,000 won't put them at any rental joints. On their site a targeted audience is rentals. How much do ya have to charge by the hour to make it an investment?

the next improvement shoudl be to remotely control the "pumpski" with some forward thrust so that once in the air you can move forward at a decent speed
wouldn't take much diversion of the pump pressure to move it forward.
