I am amused by your choice of icon.

Nah they will never fly. Where's the wings? :o)

(BTW I have a pilots licence and you will NEVER ever get me up in anything that hovers unless it has two engines)

Neat!

...buuuuut after watching the vid, also kinda scary what with being a spydrone and all. I can see occasion where a user may end up with an "inoperable" gadget, after pissing me off / scaring me with their anonymous-but-ominous buzzing spy.

Also, Merseyside Police got bitchslapped for using their one just this week (BBC story);

"All unmanned aircraft, not just ones that weigh 15lb (7kg) or more, now have to be licensed to conduct aerial surveillance work after the law changed at the start of the year.

They need CAA permission to fly within 164ft (50m) of people and within 492ft (150m) of buildings.

The CAA said any breach in regulations, which came into force on 1 January 2010, would be "treated seriously"."

BTW, The Beeb's pic is wrong, The plod's one isn't a fat bastard, but is still notably unmarked...

I can just see it. Proud owner flies hir newest toy into the living room. Kitty wakes up and says "BAT! KILL!!!". Vet bill does not include cost of replacing now-mangled toy...

Fly a helicopter with your 'phone? There's an app for that.
