I'd do this myself, but I want to watch the flight. I need an atmosnaut to fly my outhouse.
I'm building a classic, functioning wooden outhouse (I think it'll need to function during flight), and I'm going to put four motors on it, one in each corner. Then, to allow for reasonably vertical flight, and in case one of the four motors doesn't light, I'm going to have a fifth motor in a sort of gimbal mounted joystick in the middle of the floor. By holding the top end of the stick, the atmosnaut will actually be able to steer the central motor and thereby fly the outhouse. Apogee will require opening the door and exiting in time to deploy a personal parachute. I'm still pondering how to get the outhouse back; having the four sides fall out to the side by using an angled locking hinge arrangement at each wall's base so that I get four rotors to spin it down slowly is seeming a bit complicated. At any rate, this'll be a safe flight; I'm going to have a couple of carpenter's levels mounted on the interior walls, and we'll use the outhouse as a simulator before the flight, having someone outside shake it while the atmosnaut practices corrections with the steering motor assembly.
If there are very many volunteers, I may need to do a lottery to pick the lucky atmosnaut.
