I predict it will be infected with malware, able to make only left turns, and crash in a Blue Scream of Death within the week.
But it should be able to remain airborne for more than 6 seconds once they revise the design a couple times and get to version 3.0.
Seriously, though, nice effort and good luck, guys!

I see a dangerous defect on the left wing. May be a cause for a security patch.
Maybe during the flight they can apply some hotfixes too. Hope they took some duct tape and bubble gum.
