To my (neophyte) eye the whole thing looks ropey!

The lift off was straight into sideways flight without establishing a nice height (dynamic rollover terrirtory?) and the sideways flight itself goes up and down and backwards - all looks a bit "loose" shall we say?

Then air taxiing down a street that seems to be not much wider than the rotor diameter?

But I suppose it's easy to analyse and make insights to a lift and air taxi when you know how it is about to end...

Still curious though...

Very glad all were ok.
