UNBALANCED GRAUPNER 10X5 CUT TO 8X5 - YouTube awesome copter quad pilot, using on board video cam, for first person view, using video goggles to fly it remotely from the ground.... nice under tree branch low altitude passes, fly-by. damnnnnnnnnnn.

If I had a neighbor that frequently did that over my back yard, I'd start shooting trap more often, and have an "accident". Fly it into my backyard, ya lose it.

Pretty darn good with that thing. The thought of what these things can be, or are, used for scares me. I would think one could easily be used to assassinate some one with no traceable evidence..let alone the spying uses.

Yeah, but can you strap a Maverick to it?....or a Sidewinder to take care of NSA drones?

That's exactly what I was thinking. And I'm sure right now there's someone working on a way to make them autonomous.

It's my understanding that the muti-rotor machines are a lot easier to fly. I was at some trade show or something (state fair?) and there was a booth selling them and letting people play with them.

From the looks of the silhouette it's a 4 GRAUPNER prop helo (?).
Some serious skill there...and some serious properties below...where's the location?
