Really, the Honeybee helicopter is an Air Force drone?? I had one of those 4-5 years ago and was lucky to keep it in the air for 30 seconds. Its the heli in the article with a purple tailboom and training-gear.
I was eating somewhere that had CNN on TV and they were discussing the use of rockets to take out civilian drones. Not which part of that scenario is more dangerous.
I'm not sure this is sensationalism with amazing ignorance or are people really this dumb and crazy(I usually avoid mainstream news).
- gambiting 12y agoI honestly thought that was Lama V3 without a canopy. These have been available for years, and yeah, controlling one is a huge feat, the battery life is around 10 minutes and they can lift absolutely nothing. It's a toy essentially. I used to be really interested in R/C helicopters years ago, but it is(or used to be) a very expensive hobby. Usually you spend few hundred dollars on a helicopter only to crash it on the very first day(it's just inevitable) and then you just keep on spending money on parts. It's most definitely not a "drone" like the quadrocopters are, not any more than R/C electric cars are. Edit: that's a lama V3 if you were wondering: http://www.dx.com/p/e-sky-lama-v3-r-c-helicopter-1166 http://www.dx.com/p/e-sky-lama-v3-r-c-helicopter-1166
