Title: Guess this gives a whole new meaning to Carrier

I am not a fan of quadcopters in general, but this looks like fun.

OH CRAP!  Now somebody made a Drone look like a typical R/C plane! With that clever move the heat will drop even harder on R/C flying as there is now no difference between Drones and the general R/C aircraft hobby.  Boy I hope I am wrong on this one!

At least they look like an airplane.  Wonder if first Harrier flight were that rough.   Now to get high speed and low speed before landing. H^^

You know Joe, I thought about that too.  But anyway, used in this fashion it looks fun and if they were used for just this purpose we might not have all the present and future problems that are going to happen.

Any political in "Foggy Bottom" ( a place in D.C.) that wants to make a name for himself/herself can use the clip to prove that R/C aircraft can be used to bring destruction to the home folks.  Sure, it "looks just like a regular R/C plane", but look again, he will say. It is a DRONE!! "Ergo, we who have the Country at heart must ban these potential deadly craft, and the only way to do it is to ban, register, and license ALL DRONES,RADIO CONTROLLED PLANES and save our homes, children, (and my constituents)"

In 13 years working with WA ,D.C. political types I came away with some real sorry tastes in my mouth.  I just can't let go of  the idea that we have yet to see the drek that will be thrown against the barn before it sticks.

If the so called educated government would get their arse where it belongs, they would go after the people who misuse the drones and not those that play safely.   I think it might be fun to have one to play with in my back yard.

they are fun toplay with, I fly mine (or try to anyways) in the front yard when it snows.
got a little key chain camera velcroed on top of it to take videos of it snowing for the family members.
They really likeit.
