They go a lot faster than I expected
Mind you I don't know what I really expected rolleyes
I used to play with glow plug powered RC planes and cars during the 1970s and 1980s but I gave them away when I was saving to buy a house
Looks like a lot of fun :-D:cool
Looks like something really good fun to do for a dad and his boy
Hmmmmmm............rolleyes

 

The first video looks like drone NASCAR. Left turn Clyde. :-D

My bad, right turn Clyde... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i98QrSSHxo4

 

Looks like a fast way to cut the Hedges, Rik. :-D

 

They see exactly what we see in the video and thats how they steer, as if they're actually on the quadcopter flying it using a joypad, I had to research to work out what was going on because through most of the track the copters aren't in view.

The radioa transmitters are powerful too, there are vids of people flying them around their towns up to a mile a away.

I guess it's like flying around your back garden headfirst.:-D

Now me and fred have to put our brains together and put a gun on one:major

 

"A" gun? Why only one?
