Anybody see a pitot tube? Radio antenna? Space to put 5 hrs of fuel if those sponsons are full of retractable wheels?

No opening windows or fresh air vents, so the aircon will be an absolute must to be operating - no aircon, no fly. Put it on the MEL.

Hingeless rotors, enclosed in a flash fairing - but the blades can fold? Take the fairing off first? Engineer required?

And the bit I really like, somehow the wheels can be driven, so the owner can sit in his easy chair in the hangar and use his phone to drive the thing out to the pad remotely. Or is the "Heli-Move Kit" just a little tug? Or is the writer having a little tug?
