I need not help from birds of prey to crash my heli's. I am more than capable of doing it all by myself. I had quite fancied a camera drone though. The architect who did our plans took site aerial photos with his new toy to incorporate in the planning submission, and I rather liked it. Of course, in flying terms its completely different. It will sort itself out, instead of plunge to instant death if you take your hands off. And there is a "come home button" which uses GPS to return it if you lose sight of it. It just flies back and lands in front of you.
But I just might...

Get a Bavarian Demon 3SX for the 600 and make use of the rescue switch. You could also try MSHeli Brain.
They both feature a stabilisation feature that will help save the heli and reduce crash costs.

My son and his girlfriend had a drone flying over head taking pictures at their wedding in Bali a few weeks ago. First time I'd seen such a thing and it felt weird.
The sound, people looking up overhead. I just kept thinking if that thing drops it's gonna hurt someone a lot.

My 600 is a flybar system The BD 3SX will work with a flybar heli. You just need to disable the flybarless controls through the software when linked up to the PC. It's not cheap, but if it saves you from one crash, it's pretty much paid for itself. |

Frightening what drones can be used for.
Almost anything

Appeared to be downed by a mere balloon!
Apart from the icicles (although I'd be concerned about tile damage), pretty useless bit of kit IMO.

We had a drone hovering over the bottom of our garden and common land at the bottom and along the road a bit a few weeks ago.
I hopped on my bike and found the youth controlling it. He won't be coming anywhere near us with it again!
Not that I'd condone it, but there is an interesting clip of a chap downing a drone with an air rifle.
It's a vid on messenger and I have seemingly no way to save it / get it on here.
Shotgun would make mince meat of one.

The next step on from drones
Shooting them down - for those teed off with them or just for target practice.
Expensive end to a drone hobby and difficult to impossible to find the shooter.
The drone itself could even be lost forever

Good for filming police behaviour at big crowd events and great for getting drugs into prisons

Quite fancy a drone swarm as well - that would definitely help my plans for world domination

Drones can cause problems around airports.
Who'd a thought ?
Anti drone tech will now be on the agenda in politics.
There was simplistic little me thinking we had this covered

Yes, I was surprised how much impact that has had to Gatwick Airport.
