Overview

This project was inspired by the E-Volo as can be seen here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2057423/Multicopter-1-man-flying-space-hopper-air-car-future.html and here: http://e-volo.com/Home.html

In a nutshell it is a one-person manned multicopter powered by batteries and flown with a simple video game controller. The E-Volo can currently get 20 minutes of flight time between charges. We would want to at least meet this time or exceed it if possible.
