Re: 20kg payload?

Then you have to propel yourself into the wind. Most of that 20kg is going to be for that one task!

No it isn't. When they say 20kg payload they mean 20kg of useful cargo. The bits that do the lifting & navigation & propulsion etc are part of the vehicle, not part of the payload.
