Hope yours doesnt get shot down like all those other ones. People really hate drones flying over their houses.

You didn't have money to buy a phone, but you can afford a copter? Seems smart.

I have money to buy a phone...but since I have a free government one now... that gives me extra monies on other things....

Pilot and unmanned aircraft systems major here, expect to pay 2-3k for a nice quad copter. Hobby king has the cheap deals btw.

Don't cheap out on optics or a quality fpv system. Dji isn't bad

the Navy has some really nice models...i wish the military still had those surplus sales for pennies on the dollar...i remember back in the day you could buy running jeeps for about $300 ...people would buy 4 or 5 of them and make a couple of good ones with plenty of spare parts...i had a friend that bought a few running tanks for less than $1000 each for his tree clearing buisness ..though the guns had been removed...

That would be cool to do an audio build in. Wouldn't have to worry about panel flex in a tank!

I may have to try that get one of those mini cheap MP3 players then build a small amplifier 10-20watts and attach it to one of those high efficient PA style speakers and fly it around....
