I bought one last year. Though much bigger for hauling my camera. and still learning. They are so cool.

I once did something similar, Paul. And I always have flash backs about it too. For good reason.

I guess I can share now; I have this:
Mainly for carrying a video camera(s). 31" or so from tip to tip.

Haha if I can get it to act right I was thinking of bringing it by tomorrow for Em.

How cool. 31"? Bout the same as mine. I've aiming for high res digital photos with mine.
But the possibility to set ropes in trees with these devices is clear.
I visited some RC sites and watch vids of these copters going though mazes. Such amazing control.

Paul, it is as easy at that. These machines can get you where you want. Rigging the mechanisms and servos to do the rest is child's play.
It's amazing.

I was going to wait until I had aerial footage of tree work before debuting it.

I disagree regarding the ease of setting a throw line in a tree. Depth perception won't work very well, wind will mess with you, and you'll hit a limb and bring it to the ground with gusto.
General flying them isn't bad, until you actually have to fly it while doing something else.

I been holding off too. For much the same reason. But I have yet to get good enough with the machine to show the fruit of what I can make possible with it.
Good things to come.

Looks sweet. much easier on the wallet. Seems that with the lightest of fishing lines, a person could get it up over the desired limb, and maybe cut the power if a clean downward part is desired, using the weight of the flying ball to help with the drag... or mount a hook on the top of a second flying ball to connect to the bottom of the first, in order to pull the first down.

That sounds like it would work!

Meh, it will make a good target.
Chris is finishing your APTA now Paul. It should be ready very soon

The flying ball is for indoor and zero-wind outdoor use. What you'd expect for under 50 bucks. too bad.

Dormant hero!!
Yeah, infrared controls are typically indoor use only
