This wouldn't be half bad...it would only have to get you 25-30 feet off the ground, and it won't need a license to fly one...this could be a "quick and dirty" answer to traffic. ANd the thing is small enough to "park" it in a parking stall... Not a half bad idea... I wonder what MPG it gets...

A quick hack of the remote and you could have the controls on those little metal rods hanging down. Job done.
