This thread has given me the urge to break out the RC Spitfire and see if I can't manage to not wreck it

In your neck of the woods, some hunter is probably gonna down that thing, thinking it's some sort of Exotic Goose, then try to cook it.

I just hope a drone doesn't get me while I'm putting the final touches on a shave ready blade.

google the word quadcopter and find the most expensive one...that's pretty much what this "drone" was. while doing that i found r/c versions of the predator.

Man, have you got that right if I saw one of those things buzzing around my house, I'd be a little upset and I could see it, then it would see my 22 pointed up at it,because I'm pretty sure it would be the Government!

dont remember what year it was but i was working for a tree company and the Goodyear Blimp crashed around Springfield OH .. we were on seen to cut it out of the trees and i was talking to a guy from Lockead ( i think thats who runs them ) and he was telling us about all the holes from gun shots that thing has in it ...lol.. i dont know if it was true but ive heard people say theyd shoot at it .... i remember all the little chips from the screen on it and we were getting watched like convicts on a chain gang .. ( added a link for ya ) we didnt try to eat it ..lol , then again we didnt shoot it down either !! Originally Posted by Hirlau
