Hmm, should I try ordering one and see how long it takes to get here?  :rofl: Maybe it's a division of Mythbusters.

Actually, I think this is a prank. The insurance premium to indemnify such a company would be enormous even if it were legal. One just can't release a squadron of flying bots over the Bay Area. I can hear the newscast now:

Newcaster: According to SF police, when the rotor blades of the "TacoCopter" contacted the flagpole the ensuing shrapnel sliced the customers' carotid artery. Mr. John Doe of Orinda, CA died at the scene within minutes. Mr. Doe is survived by his wife Barbie, twin sons Timmy and Tommy and their Irish Setter named "Taco". Representatives from "TacoCopter" were unavailable for comment.

:rofl:
Question: If one were to use a 12 ga. with #5 turkey loads, just how much would you have lead a TacoCopter?  :jester:

I was think along the lines of collateral taco stains but carotid damage would do the job  :shock I was very tempted to email and ask them if it was a joke or not. The jobs section (see quote below) has an email address. jobs@tacocopter.com It's too late at night for me to be thinking clearly.
