Too easy.
Just use a magnetic board cooled with liquid Helium, and tracks/arenas covered in magnets. Ta-daa! Instant levitation.

HOVERBOARD - NILS GUADAGNIN
all you need is two counter rotating RC motors -> you have bicopter (quadcopter) above.
I think they have already experimented flying a HUGE quadcopter with rider onboard.
