World's first manned flight with an electric multicopter

*** Maiden flight of 2-seater 2013: http://youtu.be/tNulEa8LTHI ***
On October 21st, 2011, Thomas Senkel of e-volo made the first manned flight with an electric multicopter (VTOL), the so called volocopter VC1, at an airstrip in the southwest of Germany. The flight lasted 90 seconds, after which the constructor and test pilot stated: "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot".

Elysium Exoskeleton, Part 11: Mounting the Shoulder

Next video we test the arm again! On me!

I am attempting to build a working exoskeleton similar to the one shown in Elysium, but instead of CGI... it will work!

Using pneumatic cylinders, an industrial festo valve bank, and a whole bunch of 1" x 1" perforated steel tube, you can watch my progress as I slowly build the coolest thing ever.
