Wow, thats cool. So it just uses thrust vectoring to move around and hover? It would have to be pretty advanced to cope with the rotation forces of the impeller.

Seeing this fly reminds me of Armadillo Aerospace's Pixel: http://www.armadilloaerospace.com/n.x/Armadillo/Home

But obviously Pixel is intended to fly into space and is rocket powered..

I _also_ can't wait until we have rocket powered children's toys.
