[rcflight13]

I do think it would have been better with a classic controller, if a bit less geeky.

Can this this handle a small camera on it? Thanks.

I saw this at CES last Thursday. Im a 13 year old kid hehe people though I was 16 so I got in. The thing is huge like 2 feet across.

This is awesome! What if NASA put a couple of these on mars? With a solar panel and some new radio hardware, bigger batteries, etc they could explore the planet way faster than the rover. Collecting samples would be hard and the weather might be an issue though... but maybe...

@nojailforpot im sure everyone in nasa has thought about ideas way more advanced than a stupid quadracopter for exploring mars.... durr

Think of the things like these will do. Deliver small mail packages, help find people in disasters, aid in military recon, aid in everything. Its a giant step up, so quick too.

@RivetsAndRain Military have been using Drones for years.

Would be great to see smaller versions like the toy mini copters that respond to IR - this unit looks a tad large.

[RivetsAndRain]

@AbaddonofWormwood well, I meant, this one looks quieter and more agile than the ones I've seen.
