Cool Quad Copter W/camera's

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/drone-home-224118240.html

I want one...

Me too Rick , its pretty powerfull , there is a Go pro camera mount for it ... Now put a extended life battery and you got yourself a really cool Video/picture taker 15 min flight time on standard battery , and in RC that is not great but for 4 props turning its not to bad ..... the cool thing about some of these Quad copters is they will hold themselves against a wall vertical or a celing . This model has the foam pretector for the blades ( awsome for the beginnger ) ....

The local RC plane club's field is about a 1/4 mile from my house. Once in a while I'll ride the RZR over there just to watch. The last time I was there some guy brought a plane he just finished building, this thing was huge he hauled it in on its own trailer. Twin engine with each being 100cc. I swear it was big enough to take a ride on it.

I've got one and they are very fragile. Very fragile.

one of these quad Copters ? Neurmax and I were talking on the last trip we took to ashland that arial photo of the SXS ride would just be awsome view ( kinda what got me looking at these ).... My brother says that GPS points can be set for it to travel too and from so you have a smoother picture ( much smother than human control ) ... I noticed it had a 40 ft or so height limit do to bluetooth , the controller that comes with it , is it Blue tooth or a FM controller ? I have seen some Vids on you tube that says the height controller can be bypassed .

Its controlled with an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't come with a controller. You can override the height limit if you want. It can go really high. Just hope you don't lose connection because it will run away

Oh. Don't get it near water. Mine landed in the snow last Christmas and it fried the control board

ricky is getting his pilots lic. and said he was going to take you for a ride

Great. I can't wait

Ahhh , did not know that was the only way to control it was thru a I phone or I pad .... but very smart as lots or people have them now .
