Gall Drone It

Seth received a drone for Christmas and has been waiting to show me how well he flies it in an effort to bring it to his dad's house for the weekend. He was hovering it a few inches from my head and I told him to go land it on his own head. He did what he rarely does... follow directions.



He then let me fly it and I decided to fly it outside in the dark. Not a good decision on my part. I crashed it a handful of times and messed up one of the gears. Seth fixed it and the next day he sent it outside for a test flight. It went straight up and didn't respond to the remote. Then wedged itself at the top of our neighbor's tree approximately 80 feet up in the air. The camera caught a good view at least. The following day Nick was able to get it down using a bow and arrow tied to a long rope.



The next test flight outside was accompanied with a string attached to the drone. Lesson learned.
