G+_Glenn Ford Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Eddie Foy 25 minutes is pretty impressive for something this small, normally about 8 min on public quads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm not sure I buy the 25 minutes. The military is famous for disinformation. (its a typical tactic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Glenn Ford Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Eddie Foy yeah they do exaggerate for funding don't they, be good if it is 20 Minutes tho. Shit in windy conditions however no matter what hardware they have in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Wind is a relative thing. Some people think a light breeze is wind. Some of us live in areas where a light breeze is no wind (15 to 20mph is common). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jon Ishitani Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 What's the big deal about that drone? When are we getting flying cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Shortly after we perfect autonomous cars. I, for one, don't think 90% of the commuters I know are capable of thinking in 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 autonomous cars? Not too likely. BILLIONS in lost revenue from no tickets. Will be a tough sell until that money is reliably replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
