azzaro Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Who thought this was a good idea? No slam, just dunk. Slow, unresponsive and really goofy looking. An aircraft only a mother (or Jan) could love. :p -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'd say that aircraft was a little over the top. ;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 This infatuation with drones reminds me of the everything-can-be-electrified period of the early 1900s (Not that I'm old enough to have personally experienced it.) When a new technology arises and everyone applies it to every problem. (ahem, cellphones) This too shall pass. -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true here as well. Having said that, many states in the US including here in Kentucky don't even have laws to limit handheld use-age!!!! One legislator even said she'd have to leave the senate if she couldn't "catch up with her Real Job" on her phone while commuting! Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
