but as long they stay out of controlled airspace, they should be legal. Like any R/C aircraft.

That's cheaper than I expected (not that I can afford it).

It beats the price of what I saw on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unmanned-aerial-photography-videography-octocopter-complete-system-/250980813279?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item3a6f9f49df
$6,399.00 - Must be a much better model.

Created by a company that is hired to make promotional material go viral. This is buzz for a new movie. Pretty smart. I agree with those up-thread, dress one up in a white robe and sandals and fly it over churches.
