Uh-huh uh-huh.

My only worry is the rollover factor. I'd think it would be more stable with the propellers above. But then, I don't know anything.

Prop wash would likely blow you off the thing if the props were above.

The little drone seemed stable enough.

I don't think I'd want to be flyingthe thing at 9k feet without a parachute and a tether/seat belt.

But, then it'd be my luck to have the motors conk out, use the chute and then land in some power lines.

Bzzzt!

No props on that bike. It's all antigrav and pulse pusher.
