A small Florida company has outfitted a quadcopter with a sniper rifle, grenade launcher and other small arms — and wants to sell the technology to military forces. https://www.defensetech.org/2017/08/18/armed-quadcopter-sniper-rifle/?ESRC=army_170821.nl Have fun Bill

You win Chuck you were the Barney Bad Ass. But.... the fat remains I wore Green while you were playing Star Wars. :cool: US Army 1965-1968. Bill

Careful when you say "ALL". I am older than "all". When Star Trek came out, I was wearing OD green already. You were playing.......... haha.............and I got to fly some too. As a passenger. Army Aircraft: Bell H-13 Sioux Cessna O-1 Bird Dog Bell UH-1 Iroquois Grumman OV-1 Mohawk Air...

Hehehe Bill

I was not expecting "overkill" from the Air Force, no AC-130. Or AF explosives. Now the Army, you have to look out for, nothing like a 120mm hi energy round to make a big boom and an impression............hehehe Have fun Bill

Absolutely correct! Idiots ruin it for everyone else. It has happened in many hobbies and endeavors. Idiots screw up, the authorities react (usually over react and don't use common sense). Then your yanking and banking days are over.

Haha Call me ChitHead but pay me..........:mad:

If range in a consistent manner is important, than yes you will probably not be happy with the standard. I have the standard and mostly fly at the home. We are surrounded by 24 acres of heavy trees. I can fly around and don't go far no problems. I got signal loss once and it flew home.

Moot point, but the authorization came from the DOD not FAA. "The Defense Department has formally given guidance to all U.S. military installations on how best to address drones they deem a threat — including shooting them down." Bill

I just checked out the specs on that Hubsan FPV X4 H502S. That is pretty nice for the price WOW. I think I need a fifth quad..........haha Good Luck! Bill

Probably not much..........easier to watch your $20 bill float downstream....hehe But a hefty sub with FPV would be interesting.

Did it try to fly in a circle? Is there a "Circle Fly" button?? See where I am going? Of course I could be wrong. I have been wrong once this year already:p Have fun Bill

Hey Chuck, Actually my Phantom's lights are visible pretty well during the day up to about 100 yards. (unless the sun is behind it of course) I don't fly a lot further that that anyway. They come in handy when the battery runs low and they flash warning. I would consider putting on aftermarket...

Go Army! The Military Can Now Use Force to ‘Disable’ Pesky Drones Near Bases. https://www.defensetech.org/2017/08/07/military-can-now-use-force-disable-pesky-drones-near-bases/?ESRC=army_170808.nl

Outstanding! As always, I am jealous.

Yes I did............Duh is ME! I meant to paste link............! It appears they have several. https://www.hobbytron.com/search.php?Ntt=submarine&submit=submit Have fun Bill

There is an old joke there.haha Check out this cheap Sub Drone. If you have a swimming pool, you gotta have this for $19. We have a creek, probably wont do well in the weeds. Have fun Bill

Long time no see, glad to see your still kicking. What are you using for the "monitor" on the FPV. I am disappointed in the phones and the 2 dedicated devices I have tried. Just not bright enough in the midday sun. Have fun Bill

Discontinued.
