Pretty amazing that a drone that small would produce enough power to pull a snowboarder.

definitely right size, for a small rider. not really seeing the battery packs it would need to do the job. and forward drive that steep would be off auto level, not just anyone could pilot the bird.

the GIANT fail IMH "experienced tow " O ...the rider is not the pilot , nothing has improved here you still need 2 people to run it. think about it, flying lawnmower on a rope, impact with person would be serious event.

clever indeed , no air that is not momentum generated, prolly stall and snatch around fairly easily, somewhat equal to light wind riding , tedious to maintain good speed and flow

"giant " maybe a bit harsh , but hey a snowmobile a rope and the same 2 people can have WAY more fun, a 1/10 of the headache and go til they're sick of it.
