A lawsuit just looking for somewhere to happen at my guess. Enjoy but be mindful.

I haven’t taken it outside of the house and it’s definitely not weather or windproof from flying it inside the house. It is a whole lot of cool though.

That toy isn’t over 300 bucks…they sell parts for it even though it’s a RTF (ready to fly) kit.

So it won’t be broken unless you like refuse to fix it lol.

LOL, what is this, CIA overstock?

just kidding (but who knows?)

Would be a fun toy, but site said it shouldn’t be considered a toy but a 'working model".

Yep, I don’t think these are any worse than RC helicopters, which have been around for years.

Just don’t use it for what Wave said !

Check this one out…Yours has a 240’ range…this one 2625’…half a mile! But it’s also quite spendy…

There was a guy in DC that was flying one inside his apartment and while drunk decided to let it fly out the window a few times.
Then it stopped responding to commands and landed on the White House lawn…

Funny, I didn’t know that was his ‘cover story’. The DJI Phantom is a larger more serious (and expensive) quadcopter, it’s not something intended to fly around the house. I get a laugh that DJI decided to capitalize on the publicity with this ‘story’.

I’ve got a number of quadcopters. They are terrible for surveillance because they make a lot of noise, and have limited flight time and range.
