This little guy likely isn't as sneaky as he appears. There is this annoying property of fans / propellers / rotors that requires that the smaller they are the faster they need to spin to push an equivalent amount of air. This isn't easily overcome by a reduction in weight because the area of a propeller (and thus the volume of air it can move) is proportional to the radius squared, but reductions in weight are usually only linear.
In short, I bet this thing buzzes like a swarm of cicadas strapped to your head.
the specs say 'R/C distance: about 98 ft'.

That would be remarkably useful. I'd start with inspecting the roof and go from there.
