Dear All,

I have soem questions about psychology:

(1)Why do we love to fly RC planes?

(2) What is the motivation to have a flying toys for amusement in our office?

(3) How does this AR Drone plane encourage the well-being, motivation & team dynamics of employees?

(4) Why do we like to play social-interacting toys, such as AR Drone?

(5) How can AR Drone be used in charitable and humanitian purposes?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brsinstorm!!! :)

15 min fly time, idk the charge time.... 300$ and up to 18kph running. + uses awesome hover conrolls, really easy to use with automatic take off and landing instead of twisty helicopter take off like most other ones. its cool that its got the ipod touch + iphone to controll but unfortunitely you have to have an iphone or ipod touch..... if that answers any questions...

yo creo que este concepto va a ser la base de vehiculos voladores personales en un futuro no muy lejano. sistemas de navegacion autonomos, baterias mas eficientes. facil manejo. veremos

i wonder what the range is on that kind of a thing, and how insanely awesome it would be to live in a place like NYC and be able to go around the city without actually going there
