This is a cool little toy, granted, the video could benefit from some editing, not very exciting Smile

I want one baaaad.. It even homes via GPS, flying itself, hovering perfectly...... :O

Oh, imagine the peeping tom stuff you could do with that one.. Just have the camera send live video to a pair of monitor goggles and you basically fly in FPS style Laughing

Fly that thing in USA for 5 min, and you'll get in 1000 UFO reports and youtube vids of this "unknown thing on the sky trying to kill all americans".

and just imagine what the budget would have been if the military developed this instead of some guy in his spare time, and as far as i know, this _is_ a private project.

edit: found this for the german speakers

Wow I just checked out the site. LOoks like all the parts are about 1000e which isn't bad... if only i could buy one already made!! I wonder how much it would be, and I wonder how hard it would be to fly!

+2-300 euros for the remote. and another (at least) 1000 for all the tech stuff one could screw on...like frant already said, direct cam feed + goggles was the first thing i thought of. and maybe an airsoft gun to pester the children in the neighbourhood. and maybe some leds for night-time ufo action Laughing

but why buy a prebuilt model? part of the fun is building it, after all (and from what i've read, really not that difficult)

niice, but i wonder how they get the camera feed to the phone. Is that done via wlan? Also it doen't look like this has anywhere near the speed or payload capacity that the 6 rotor thingies have.
