A one-button auto-takeoff helicopter operating system

My Skepticism Meter* is pinging way into the red on this.

I mean, one-touch auto-landing and auto-takeoffs are and have always been an ideal for rotorcraft, especially helicopters.

Heck, my home is littered with the carcasses of several R/C helicopters that have crashed while I was flying them.

I subsequently use the failed choppers as decorative ornaments.

I mean, that's how hard they are to fly.

Now, a company claims to have solved it for real-life, human-carrying helicopters.

While I really do want it to be absolutely true, I am still quite skeptical.

Very much so.

So, like to cops would ask on the Sci-Fi TV show, "Fringe": 'show me'.

I'm serious: show me.

*My Skepticism Meter does double, simultaneous duty as a bullcrap meter.
