Alas, I can't read Japanese, because the world's smallest piloted coaxial helicopter looks kinda cool!

In Engrish: Two-stroke, air-cooled, 125cc, horizontally opposed. Two-cylinder.Empty weight: 70 kg (155 lb) Max takeoff weight: 220 kg (485 lb) http://www.ultralightflyer.com/genH4/
"it has a 120cc (8 HP) engine and can reach speeds of nearly 80 mph. GEN is apparemtnly selling the H-4 for around $31,000 which doesn't seem too bad to me, at least if you can find a place to land it. They also arrange demo flights and training courses." per: http://www.luxist.com/entry/1234000053064132/

Did you find anything on per-hour operating costs? $31k fully assembled ain't bad at all.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
