At current real estate prices, you can rent out the interior of that octocopter to fund its development and still have space + funding left over! :P

I was always tempted to try to AirBnb out my parking spot in SF, and put up a tent there, and see how much I could charge!

#8Is this really in the spirit of a Show HN post? It's basically an advertisement to rent someone's space.

#9Hmm, October through May, snow blower included? On the plus side its probably great for focus, on the down side its going to be a haul to resupply mid-winter. Although with another outbuilding for supplies and pulling gigabit fiber from the Internet all the way out to the house, you could treat it like the Arctic stations and just work solid for 8 months.

Yeah, I was also thinking about that. But at the same time who would think about a business idea for small air ports otherwise? Also not many people rent to new businesses who might end up not being able to pay a bill or two on time (or at all). So yeah, you're right. It's an ad. But that doesn't make it a worse adventure, I presume. So I actually like it despite hating to see ads on the front page.
