What a great idea! Being an R/C nerd I totally want to make something like that, but the effect of 3 people flying together is really cool, so who’s with me? I assume some of the footage was shot from that drone they showed for a moment.
Three human shaped RC planes were flown around New York City to create the illusion of people flying. Lots of fun.
