It still only flew a few feet off the ground, with a couple people holding
onto the skids for stabilization.

I saw the video on network TV, and I didn't notice anything that I would call
"flight". It looked like the thrust from the ducted fans was carrying much of
the weight, and some big guys were doing the rest.

I don't want to minimize anything that this fellow has accomplished so far,
but I found myself wondering where the news story was.
