Maybe Harbor Freight tools will be a dealer for these things, it breaks, bring it back for a free replacement!....(with receipt) Hint: Get the extended warranty.

How can that happen? Covid proved the world is dependent on Chinese products. It is too late for that to change. China has a monopoly and the world knows it.

Well some of the world knows it and acknowledges it while others..........Personally I'm happy to be living where I do, the population density of many countries in Asian is something that I wouldn't be comfortable living in .

For $92,000.00 you can order one now. They're backed up with orders through 2028 though. https://jetson.com/jetson-one
Same price as a F150 and no license required.

I guess that's why it has a limited warranty.

I know the feeling me and the wife bought a house in the Philippines in early 2000. Was a nice under developed area not crowded at all. She was there off and on over the years I was there in 2016 for a month still not too bad. Retired in 2023 went there for all of 2024 and night and day difference. Over crowded, and everyone now has a motorbike or car traffic is worse then LA. We split our time between there and WI need it for my sanity plus miss my truck. Get jealous here there are so many Raptors on the road. I need to do it for her she has a lot of family here and as the saying goes you do not marry a Filipina, but marry the family. I can not complain just celebrated our 40th anniversary so life is good and I am blessed.

8 separate rotor and drive setup so even if you loose 4 batteries it will still stay up. 50/50 chance of crash and burn. Just like the Ranger tranny odds.

But luckily Ranger transmissions crash much closer to the ground.

With only a 20 minute runtime, I'd hope it has some kind of safety system like drones do - when the battery gets to 20%, it starts an automated return to home.

It is cool but a very expensive toy honestly. The 20 minute runtime limits its usefulness.

Several safety systems to consider.......
First one you may think is a "flight alone" system but it's safety only after you bail....for example while in use you can't drink coffee or beer, use your phone, ect.......

In the US we need to leverage the investment in the EV network with such flying machines and if necessary add more to mitigate range anxiety.
