I think this drone is smarter than I am, and yes - in theory just punch the 'Go Home' button and it should come back. These things suffer from bad press here in the UK recently, what with idiots flying them near airports and using them to drop contraband items into prisons. Ah well, I'll be keeping well out the way of built-up areas :)

wow!

wasted most of my middle age searching high and low for hp nixie equipment.

BUT it never occurred to me to use "nixie" and "battery powered" in the same sentence.

don't remember ever seeing anything battery powered AND nixie at work...…. or in a hamfest, yard sale, estate sale, dumpster, or refuse transfer station. 

they must be as rare as a tea member with self control.  who needed a digital display and portability that badly?  was it some kind of avionics application?

guess you live and learn!  thanks!


(and now someone will tell me that there are places where you can't swing a cat by the tail without knocking over a pile of battery powered nixie stuff.)

He didn't even use the go home when he lost his, it just knew to return to the GPS location from where it was launched and when he got LOS again he reckoned he was too scared to let a paddle go to wipe his brow.  :-DD
He's got that good with it now he uses his car bonnet for launch and landings.  :o
The base station he uses is brilliant as it displays what it sees, TOF remaining and distance away.
He took it for a good spin out on my rural location up to ~400ft and many hundred yards from our location for a good snoop at what all the neighbors were up to.  >:D It's pretty hard to spot out past 500yds.
On that day it was blowing pretty hard but the GPS kept it all under control like there was no wind, pretty bloody cool !

Don't be tempted to fly it in a small area to start with, another neighbor that got a bigger quad for his pro camera coverage work couldn't get his head around flying away and back and the changes you need make on the controller (older guy with no gaming experience) ended up flying it into himself and trying to fend it off with his forearm.  :-DD
We wondered why he wore long sleeve shirts in the middle of summer until the full story came out.  >:D

I wonder if I can use one of those to drop revenge dog shit on the guy who lets his great dane carpet bomb the local area.

Specmaster:
Great flying horny turds....Turds away....Turds Gone. :-DD
