Drones!

[lancpudn]

Gawd n Bennet! I get dumber by the week We have a slight leak in the back bedroom ceiling & I thought I’ll get meself a drone to fly up over the roof to see where the broken tile is, So I orders one off the good people at aliexpress with forward & downward 1080 hd cameras which turned up ten days later. Smart arse me thought I’ll have a try with it in the living room because it’s perishing & windy out there.
It took me ten seconds to slam it into the living room wall & damage one of the motors FFS.

Kids make it look so easy to fly the buggers I should have just got one of the local kids to fly it up there & record it.

Lucky it was only a wall !
Even a smallish drone will easily make a big mess of lots of indoor fitments, let alone soft stuff like hands and faces.
Surprisingly quick ain`t they? (And fun later)

I bought a relatively inexpensive one once, read the instructions, familiarised myself with its operation and sent it upwards. Never saw it again. I do however have the controller still. Every cloud……

At the risk of being bawled out by enthusiasts I have to say I find them incredibly irritating, buzzing about overhead. The times I wish I’d had my shotgun with me…
