Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as gorillas of fortune.
If you have a problem,
if no one else can help,
and if you can find them ...

IPython doesn't (CPy 3.14.0, Ipy 9.6.0). bpython (CPy 3.13.x, Bpy 0.25) throws a ValueError in VSCode terminal, but not in Ghostty. Thank you, those may provide an angle of attack to narrow down the cause(s).

I wonder whether multiple rotors is the production design, or just a stepping stone for protypes. I imagine a single rotor would get more power for the same size, but it might be too heavy for the inflatable parts to lift/support. Maybe it's easier just to go to higher alttitude with faster winds.
