Can anybody help me to understand how this works
« on: July 29, 2015, 08:47:51 AM »
This leaves me a bit puzzled. How does it work.

All I can think is that it flys itself , after being pre set on one of the modes-----    follow---   lead ---   loop--- etc.  

Must be someone out there that is familiar with this very sophisticated device

The drone crashes at the next Olympics are going to be almost as entertaining as the subsequent arguments.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

According to one of my son's these are available at Best Buy for around $800 bucks. Program with a note pad, uses a laser to determine pre-programmed altitude.

Put the tracking device on your stunt plane and have it follow through the pattern.  ;D

The tracker has gps and the quad does too.  The quad stays on station with some offset from the tracker.  Not hard once you have all the gps working.

What is plural of GPS? GPSes? GPSi? Those of us that have one usually refer to it as "the female dog in the box", to put it politely. They're a great aid in navigating, but don't trust one 100%.  VD~ Steve
