Here's A Shot Of My Copters....

[Blue Bayou]

The ruler is one foot, it'll give you an idea of the size of the copters.
No cameras on them, I don't do the camera thing because the media has the public whipped into a frenzy over "drones" carrying cameras..!!
My Quadcopters are all carrying GPS for stabiization, they fly great and will stay in one place if you take your hand off the stick.
I have built these all myself from parts off Ebay. They are all registered with the FAA.

I really like those.! I wish I had time for more toys, but I know I got one it just sit on the shelf. Looks like you are enjoying your retirement.

Interesting use of Heli Canopies. I fly Helis and quads but I like helis better because they are more challenging.

How long do the batteries last? ie stay aloft?

On a fresh charge, I can get 8 minutes on the large copters and 10 minutes on the small one. :-)

Yes, I get the Heli canopies at the flea market. I bought a whole bag of them (used) for 14 bucks. I find they make the copter easier to identify
the front at a distance and they also streamline the aircraft to make it fly faster in the forward direction. Helis look like a lot of fun, but I haven't arrived there yet....lol...!!!
