Graham1984 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Maybe you could make a modified version and then stick a supercharger on it as well just for a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We've been playing with our quadcopters at work, the 3 axis gyros and auto stability systems are outstanding, we fly ours round our CNC shop and showroom with small cameras so we can give flying guided tours Technology in gyro hardware and advanced software have revolutionised helicopter and quadcopters , when I first started flying and designing rc helicopters about 10 years ago you had to have skill to fly, nowadays the technology makes it so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Maybe you could make a modified version and then stick a supercharger on it as well just for a laugh. A swarm of those equipped with camera and/or a plastic charge could be lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Don't let Ed get hold of one with a camera on as that would end up filming god knows who/what. Are there people you feel need a flying c4 charge visit David?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
