So...today at work, I open my Washington Post Express, and see in print, the following news article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...3c9b8e-6cee-11e4-bafd-6598192a448d_story.html
They are obviously talking about a Phantom.
But, this is in the mainstream Washington D.C. news?!
I think it shows how ignorant the public is about quads, that this is in the news at all.
It almost reads like a spoof news article.
Copied below from above link:
LOUISVILLE, Colo. — A Louisville man is searching a possible crash zone after his $1,000 drone went missing three months ago.
Chad Little has mapped out the area where he believes it disappeared and is asking for help finding it.
Little only had the drone for a few days when he took it out for a flight on Aug. 8 above open space near the Louisville Reservoir.
It was programmed to come back but it took off instead.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera (http://tinyurl.com/k34ha7t ), the company that makes the drone sent Little a new model because of similar complaints but he would rather have his old drone because it was equipped with a special camera.
