Whoa, that waypoint stuff on the notebook was too cool!

If you look at some of his other videos, there is one test flight where by waypoints they launch it and it follows a raod at fairly high altitude. What impresses me is the flight time he is able to get on his batteries knowing he is spinng 6 electric motors. Their 3Km test flight used a model with 4 motors.

Geez! And that thing doesn’t exactly move slow, either (it’s not like it’s trying to go slow to save on “gas” or anything). It’s quite a machine!

I don’t think I’d feel to comfortable standing next to it while it’s hovering, though–might end up with a short haircut!

Nice rig. The GPS thing is only useful unless you’re scouting for a ‘Predator Drone’ mission. What I would much rather see is a real-time view of what the camera is seeing. That would be far more useful.
