AR Drone
Indoor Drone
Outdoor Drone
Sweet. After having a few near misses with my heli, I have back benched it, only for a little while. So with that in mind I still wanted to do something other than just planes. By chance an email came through on my phone and I checked it, it was from ebay and they were having a special on AR Drones. With not much hesitation I purchased one. It arrived in a couple of days and I haven’t looked back. For those who haven’t heard of them before, your iphone, ipod, ipad or android device is the controller. It has 2 video cameras in it, one athe front and one underneath, which you can record from back to your device.
I Can Fly
Flying Wallet
Well today was a good day for me. I managed to get down the park with the family and fly my new rc aeroplane. The weather was a little windy, but that didn’t stop me. Admittedly I was a tad nervous seeings that my jet has crashed here a couple of times, and that I haven’t even been able to get my helicopter off the ground, unless of course it is trying to attack me. The chopper has now been officially put to the side and more attention on the trainer.
The trainer originally had wheels on it, but they were just a little small to taxi down the runway and kept on stalling the motor. So it was back to hand launch time. The first time it left my hand today I felt my heart stop for a second and then I saw how gracefully it was floating across the sky. Still had a little nerves running through me, but I felt it all come back to me. It was an amazing feeling.
