well, the real question is how much does it weigh? the specs for the gas one says 2.2 lbs. Most of that would be for the motor, fuel tank, and support/reinforcement for gas power and weight. If you are willing to spring for (or if you already have) a brushless/lithium system, I would say it could fly quite well, its not all that different than the GWS flying pizza or ladybug, probably just a bit heavier.
