It can take a small load to a precise location, sit down, wait and come back.
But it'd be fun to play with like a kid.

Although flight mechanics is not my field, I suspected the same. I remember learning about the physics of scaling using the 50's Sci Fi mutant ants, or spiders or dinosaurs or whatever. Those skeletons could not be scaled to the proportions in those cult films. But they were great entertainment.
