the ingenuity of this thing really intrigues me,

why can't something like this be developed by the people here on this forum, I mean we have access to almost all the parts needed,

 motors, lipo, actuators, carbon fiber everything..... we just need to find a replacement for the controller module and we're done.... i

seriously want to attempt this, anyone else wanna join?? ;D ;D

Great, hope that helps for a successful product launch and to get the costs down.

Meanwhile I also stumbled upon a less sophisticated Chinese power up, powered by a capacitor.

Where in India can we buy this?
The below link looks like an option but the site does not seem reliable as per many users' experience (mouthsut.com)

Do we have any alternate options?

It is a different one. Its remote controlled and not smartphone controlled. But thank you for the update.
