I had a birthday 3 days ago, and among my gifts was a brand new Phantom 3 Advanced. It's a top of the line drone that can fly up to 3 miles away from the controller. My airspace is a bit tight, but I've gotten it to fly at 36 miles an hour. Doubtless it could go faster if given more room to accelerate.
Here's a picture of the drone and its controller:

It also comes with a great camera that can be used to record video or take pictures. Here's a few outside shots I've taken:
A bush:

The lighting could be better, as it was an overcast day. But it still looks pretty good.
A tree:

The lighting is a little atypical, being a burst of quasi-sunset light on an overcast day. But still quite good.
I cut down the image quality of the two above images for faster loading times. So they aren't quite just what the camera is capable of. But they provide a good idea.
Here's a picture I took of myself:

As you can see I'm a boating enthusiast.
I'll take some more photos in the days to come.

Neato! Take some cool videos of rooftops and stuff, and watch out for branches

Whatever you do, don't try to catch it by the blades

Sorry I missed your B day, Fuzzy . Hope it was a good one. :yesyes: We got a drone for our grandson at Christmas but it was no where near as fancy as yours looks. Yours looks like breaking the sound barrier is not out of reach. And a final thought, you may want to consider getting an outboard motor for the ship of yours. You could move a lot faster for sure but not as fast as your drone.

Doesn't the military have rocket launcher mounts for that thing? :)

I have never seen a better picture before than the one at the bottom. My god!
