Yuneec just released the newer Q500+ with a "better" camera. Only time will tell, I was dead set on the Q500+ mostly because it seems ( at this time) to be a rock solid performer ( flight wise ). No reports of fly away or really strange behavior. Yuneec also is getting rave reviews on...

Man,, That is either one small woman or one very large dog...

Only good thing here is that you just know that they will crash the thing enough to finally break it for good, then they will move on to something else.. djl

Wouldn't that be like setting in from of a microwave antenna ? Doubt they will put many of those out where I fly ..

Re: We must ban drones before - Chicago Tribune piece on dro I wonder how he would respond if a "drone" flyer demanded that we ban opinion columns because a couple people gave false info in them that caused someone to get hurt ( not necessarily physical injuries either ) Typical liberal...

Get that Hubsan outside and fly it,, 1000 % difference flying outside that inside,, Unless you live in the AstroDome.... You won't be sorry if you hold off the purchase of the phantom and spend a few weeks or more outside with a trainer quad.. I have ( had ) a Hubsan X4 and probably had 100+...

Buying it from Amazon is probably a whole lot safer that you being a first time flyer,, and please don't take that as an insult.. there are just too many sad stories of people out there who have bought something like this and crashed/lost heavily damaged it because of the ease of flying they...

Gotta weigh in on this one: Kinda goes along with the saying, what people do on there own property is there own business, Stupid or not.. They did have helmets on, I would rather see some kids doing this than a group of drunken guys with no shirts ( or helmets ) was it stupid? yea...

I can think of a few ways to probably beat that drone... Simple zigzag pattern so that it cannot get a good position above.. Fly under a low tree branch, causing it to fly into the tree or break off pursuit.. Bring my drone back to me at a low altitude and capture it with my own net. the...

+1 on the Hubsan X4, Just got one with a 5 pack of batteries, what a hoot to fly and learn how to control the bird.. done about 18 flights so far and am getting better with it. no major crashes just a couple small one's

Re: First Flight !!!! ok ... Short First Flight .. Ok, Crash Gutsy first flight,, I would have waited until daylight... ( maybe) djl

Oh.. I don't know... I have read a few articles, been following 1 forum,, I have read nothing but good reviews on the Scout X4 so far.. It looks like it may be a little more harder to learn to fly, ( lots of switches/modes) but at this point I am leaning towards it over the Phantom,, Just...

It does not take much for those soccer matches to go "postal" This news is not really (IMHO) about the drone, but about the reaction of players and fans to cause the stoppage of play. And of course the on field brawl. djl

LOL,, Considering that the Secret Service can't stop someone from hopping the fence and running into the W' House.. Not sure if they could catch a drone...

Parks,,,, Forests,, Same thing.
