Nice. They apparently got the VTOL option, but I couldn't afford it for my 172. I hope they also got the ejector seat option. Actually, I think they should be sold as a package.
But seriously there appears something weird about that video, was it a controlled test, or really blown away in a wind? I'm suspicious. The video is strangely centered, and it seems to rise straight up before blowing backward, which is also odd.

Ahh, never mind. Apparently it was tied down, then the ropes broke. That makes perfect sense, became a kite rising straight up, then flew backward.
