Default 100 Drone Synchronized Airshow

Drones have a lot of people worried about privacy, but they can be used for good as well as nefarious purposes. 100 small aircraft being launched skywards in formation has earned a new Guinness World Record for the Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously. Controlled on the ground by a crew using PCs with Intel software, the mass of drones lit up the night sky in sync to a live performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and executed a stunning light show resembling a fireworks display.

“Drone 100” took place at Flugplatz Ahrenlohe, Tornesch , Germany , in November 2015.

Not bad, I've been right into " drones " as the media calls them for ages. The word drone is pretty much the equivalent of hoon for multirotor guys.

I fly fpv ( first person view ) so the image you see on this video is what i see through a pair of goggles, its the closest you will ever get to flying.

I hate that word...I also fly fpv and they are certainly not autonomous aircraft!

My latest build and these are proving to be just as addictive as 500rwhp!...



And what a pro can do Line Of Sight...

What size is that? 210?

this is the video that got me hooked...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRmlX6rrs2w

I saw this and just knew I had to do it! I had only really been aware of the DJI stuff so watching this was a revelation at the time.... I have now spent way too much on it!

Yea its a bolt 210 made by an australian company. Skitzo's run was sic he has a style of his own but most of the pros seem too as well. I started out watching charpu's early videos and that was it i was hooked, spent many a dollar since

Anyone else get flashbacks from 'Close Encounters' when they watched that?
