That’s the AggieTex CincoCopter, Model N0Fli-1, Beta version. It’s designers couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t fly, so it was converted into a more suitable office chair base.

If an operator/hobbyist/enthusiast isn't "piloting" the aircraft, then what term would you use? Driving? I am a licensed private pilot of 28 years and when I fly my drone, I am piloting it. That makes me the pilot. If I am "the" pilot, then I am "a" pilot. Webster's Dictionary says so, the FAA...
