I'm just curious about what was done to reduce the noise levels while flying. I've never seen a ducted fan system, glow or electric, that wasn't as loud as a buzz saw. Their statistical information indicates that the unit is 14lbs. dry and 18lbs. fully fuelled; that must be one hell of an engine and rotor to not be deafeningly loud.
