Yer right, z, but I save my spittle for sport climbers. That dood in the vid didn't
pick his rock well enough plus he shouldn't have thrown the two seamer -
I'd have thrown the change.

Rumoured to be able to catch Nolan Ryan fastball and/or Parrot drone. Not simultaneously, yet.

Soul flying ain't going anywhere dingus...it's the right of the free man to enjoy what he is capable of doing, free from the oppressive characteristics of even public opinion...you harbor hate and misunderstanding in the image of only the most ignorant of minds..I would of thought someone such as yourself, from this tribe, would know better..

And then?

The drone does a spiral, causing a fall;
The tape then goes viral, launching recall
Of most drones.

Right up there with snowmobiles, in my book.

Yuck 'em.

In the last few months of a lame duck democratic presidency - just let the people do whatever they want.
God knows they have suffered enough already.

The Reverend Pagan Monkey Boy and I are not going to stop until our Armada reaches 100,000 strong.

And I prefer to call them AVPP's (Aerial Videography and Photography Platforms).

The latest one I'm building will have an IR camera and be targeted for us in SAR missions.



really wanted to get one in the air for the overhead shot of this scene last week

and then there is the porta-quad Deucey designed. Recon mission for when he returns to the Karakorum. Will make ice fall navigation go much quicker.

Want a drone that could drag the rope up and clip bolted belay stations so I could free climb the pitch without the annoying possibility of death
and it would remain silent and not try to talk me through the tricky moves.


Oh and maybe YNP will buy a drone for rescues, to assess situations with
live audio and video and possibly deliver emergency medical supplies for a fraction of the cost of helo's.

You mean that's not part of what they are trying to do in Yosemite?

Coulda fooled me. They are pretty good at it.
