Will flying lessons be included in DSC1?

Probably will need a co pilot until signed off?

I watched that too,fascinating and not too dear..£300.
The only use I can see it being to us is to "explore" a heavily wooded shoot for any useful clearings.
Even that would probably be just a good excuse to have a new toy

They can carry top grade camera's too, probably not a good platform for a .270 though!!

Don't go there finnbear!...or this thread will end in tears too

 

[Gunner]

Could be of use for anti poaching surveillance?

 

[finnbear270]

Maybe the FC will use 'em on infra red / thermal platforms for deer counts?:idea:

 

[White Hart]

This could be the answer if they "take off" excuse the pun!

 

[sir-lamp-alot]

antis are going to love these for hunt monitoring but they do look like some sort of space ship so you could be forgiven for being so scared that you shotguned it out of the sky

Saw one in action a few weeks ago .. Impressive to say the least !

 

[private fraser]

What was it being used for?.

 

[Grimrecruiter]

They are the in thing for wedding ptotography - there has already been an accident with one hitting a guest!

This is an eight blade model capable of carrying a canon HD camera - Nice!

Could come in handy checking out a new deer least before you pay

Ultimate Deer Rifle PMSL!

Could be good for target of practice with a 12g

A bloke had one on one of the golf courses I shoot on...
I didn't know at the time it had a camera on it,
later on he was showing what he had recorded off. It was crystal clear.

They are now being used for training falcons to take pitch (get height) and are the high-tech replacement for kites.

They mount really fast but only have a battery life of around 20 mins from memory
