FPV (Googles/Camera) for about $400 with RF failsafe return-to-home. $800 for GPS mission programmable.lfinsr wrote: That said, I'd love to have one of them. It's not even close but I have one of the cheap sub $100 quadcopters and it's a blast to fly. It has no camera and about 150' range so I can't be blamed for spying on anyone...
I can't decide what's more fun.. Flying one or having the opportunity to shoot one down...
I flew RC for years and there is a skill set attached as the controls reverse when it flies towards you. The googles make it a lot easier for people that are simply used to flight simulator / video games skill sets. I've got a co-worker that picked it up in about 2 hours (after a few minor crashed).
Cool stuff.. But I'm a proponent of respecting my neighbors, even if it is perfectly legal for me to hover over their backyard.
