GAD: UFO Pilot

[GAD]

I got a newer bigger drone and this one has navigation and landing lights. Here it is out looking for cows to abduct.

And a closeup if that pic doesn't freak you out enough.

That... is disturbing.

LOL - you changed it.

I would have a difficult time buying GAD a Christmas present. He has so many "cool" toys, already.

Just keep it under 500 ft, fella.

There has been about 7 or 8 cases of horses being injured, killed or mutilated in France this last few months I heard - pretty much like cows supposedly have been treated (with ears being cut for instance) -, but no-one here has held extra-terrestrial beings responsible for it...No drones or Ufos reported to have been observed around either...

Very cool! You do have the best toys!

Saw on CNN their was a report of a surge in phone calls to Roswell and Hanger 57 moments after those pics were taken.

A part of me was hoping for a Guild bass that appeared legit but didn't map to known specs too well ;-)

So how long did you have to practice till you got to the point where the drone does what you want or expect? Software simulator available?

It’s always been easy for me and I’m not sure why. I didn’t fly RC planes as a kid, though I did play a lot of flight simulators going back to the ‘80s on floppies on a Compaq portable of all things.

I will admit to flying my first one into the side of the house while playing with it in sports mode, though. This one has collision avoidance sensors.

BTW here's a cool panorama shot from the new drone. It positions itself in space, then takes I think nine photos while moving the camera around appropriately, then stitches them together in-drone.

Doesn’t that take time away from reviewing Guild guitars? I think the TRC police might need to form a sub-committee to look into this.

Sort of. The biggest impact into guitar review submission is having a job. And my short attention span.

Sort of like man-made dragonfly.

That video is a riot. The Drone is sort of like a dragonfly (I love dragonflies) but the dragonfly wins in cornering and bug-eating capacity.

He needs a scorpion chair.
