    Very very cool. Wanted one for quite sometime now. I chose new LEDs over the drone this Christmas. But there's always next Christmas.
    Cool video!

    Well unfortunately the drone was short lived. There is a fail safe mode on the machine so that if a problem occurs the drone will come back. It failed and the drone ended up in the pool. The manufacturer I believe will replace it, I am working with them on this issue currently.
    It is not an easy machine to navigate. When I get it back, I will be much more cautious as to where and when I fly it. It was very awesome while I had it and can’t wait to get it back.

    I had never heard of it before, that is a very cool device. It looks like your cousins have some pretty nice digs out in CA. :) I like the idea of having the drone bring you things - I hope you get it worked out and replaced without hassle!

    Since the crash, I have been working with them. Their customer service dept has been pretty good. We came to a deal that even tho I couldnt get mine fixed, they offered me a new for for a discounted price, 30% off. Seemed like a good offer and I took it. In a few days, I should have my new drone.

    Pictures and video will be posted once the weather breaks.

    You mean it can't cut through snow and ice? Or it's motor won't freeze up in -14 F like it was last night on my drive home?
