Working on inventing something entirely new really excites me. My job is developing the charge controller, logging, and aircraft communications for the Helix. Everyone at Pivotal is both a colleague and a friend, so it doesn't feel like coming to work.

What makes me want to fly is the uniqueness of Helix. It's a great way to get out of the office and spend time outdoors. It's a crazy experience that I can share with my friends. It's bonkers.
I wasn't a pilot before I flew one of our aircraft. When I'm flying it doesn't feel as high as it looks. I feel safe and the flight feels perfectly natural to me.
What would you like to share with someone interested in buying a Helix?
Flight in a Pivotal aircraft feels much longer than you expect. 20 minutes at 400 feet is awe-inspiring — time really slows down.
