I get the cost question a lot. I also get the questions about how high and how far it can go. I haven't gotten any negative comments or feedback....at least, not yet.

How high?
How far?
How much?

What do you want for dinner tonight.

I guess I must be flying by a lot of very quadcopterly uneducated people, because usually the first question I get is "are you controlling that or is it flying by itself?" While I have the controller in hand and am using it lol

Are you married?! I keep a tabbed sheet of my phone number in my pocket. **** cougars are getting to be a real hassle, though.

Perfect example of how some people are controlled by their unchecked imagination and fear. I've said before on here................ those types get a quick reality-check from me. Others, who are actually interested, get a nice crash course on my hobby.

2 days ago a guy came stormed over to me f'bombing me, calling me a wan%#r, offered me a fight and told me to f off and play with my toy near my own house. His house was over 100mtr away. I took some deep breaths and held my temper. It wasnt worth losing my job over. Ive got to keep a clean sheet in my line of work .... But boy did I want to stuff my hand caught Phantom in his face, props running. "Toy you say? Tell that to your plastic surgeon!"

first question I ve got last 3 times is: are you going to spy with this?

BlackHawk388 · Jun 25, 2015

How fast can it fly?
How high/far can it go?
How much does one of those cost?
Is it easy to fly?

Those all seem to be the top ones. Some ask about the camera ability, but the true paranoid ones I shut up real quick when I land it and show them a video on my almost always present laptop. This isn't a $250,000 government drone with 50x zoom and night vision capabilities although some aren't convinced. It helps I'm a fairly big guy with a no nonsense, but usually friendly attitude.

I did hear a new one this morning.

Anyone ever shot at that thing?

I've gotten that question many times and I love answering it.

"Yes, this is the perfect spy machine. Other than the wide-angle camera, sound footprint like 4 electric fans, flashing green and red stealth lights, 15-20 minute flight duration, and ability to draw a crowd, it's the right tool for the job."
