What does the time of year have to do with it?

When is the first dead human quadcopter gonna make the scene?


We already have the Superman Drone....

I have another new book called the "aerodynamics of quadcopters".

Here it is:

"They have none".

That's almost the shortest book ever written, but it's beat by "Italian War Heros" (I'm italian, so I can say that).

prepare for huge uptick in "UFO" sightings...all due to Mr. Craig. Gonna be mad crazy quadcopters about.

"I seen it just raght thar over the trees...made lahk a buzzin kinda hummin sound...I sware it was suckin on ma brains...and than, it was gond, like a pigeon in a hurricane".....did my best to put "Gram's" accent into phonetics for ya.

Do they have these quadcopters that you can mount an ar-15 to yet?? I'm thinking about building a redneck drone...

Seriously, Congrats on the new site. Looks like a fun hobby. What kind of range do they have? Do they have real-time video that you can see on the controller as to "fly" the copter from the air?? If so, I may have to look into one for a deer hunting reconnaissance tool.....

Too noisy for deer hunting, but this one should do the job for some other critters....

That first one reminds me of this book from a while back.

That wingsuit basejumping is the chit......if I was a little younger, and a little richer, that would be a rush.....
I'm totally amazed at how these guys/gals judge distance/rate-of-fall/speed/altitude, etc. This video shows some amazingly "close calls"......wow...
