One of the guys in my drone club warned me that in order to fly this type (and have any real fun), you have to be prepared to spend a lot of money on repairs and replacements. They have a significant number of 'one-way' flights. :D

I'm beginning to think there's nothing these guys won't try. :shock:
Watch what happens when the engineer spots the drone (at 1:02) :D

I thought it was all but certain about five times during that vid that the little thing was about to get crushed.

The latest and most fanciful flight of Tiny Whoops.

And, better late than never: (I think maybe theres a Thundy-Mindy in this one somewhere. :o Or at least a skyfish)

The ones they fly look something like these, but a lot more battle-scarred. :D
(They also have lights attached to the back.)

Mesmerizing. I think Thundy-Mindy showed up twice around the one-minute mark (bottom left) and he/she was all over the place in the second vid.

Thanks for posting these great videos!

You can find the original tale of Thundy-Mindy here:
http://www.let-the-right-one-in.com/for ... &start=420

It's called: Eli, Oskar, and the Skyfish

Unfortunately all Clubmeister's illustrations have disappeared :(
But there's a video further down in the thread.
