Weed Wacker - SKY

Post by MoonlightVFR »

I was inside my home.

Heard a weed whacker outside, next door. Sounded like a B&D electric.

Puzzled; wrong season (DEC) to whack weeds/trim. Sound persisted so I went to the front door for a peek.

My neighbor was standing in his driveway looking straight up into the sky. It was the maiden flight of his new Drone. He landed it and I gave him a thumbs up .

He must be a gadget centric person. He bought a LEAF electric vehicle. Then purchased a new VOLT electric auto. Now a Drone.

What next? A Terrafugia ? , a model TF-X?

"Drones" seem to be things to have these days. I have an acquaintence who is a big time hay farmer back in Michigan with a number of places with large center pivot sprinkler systems. He has a "Drone" equipped with a camera that sends a picture back to his laptop computer. He uses it to monitor the center pivot systems to check for coverage, clogged nozzels, etc. Pretty clever, eh?

I have to wonder what kind of a registration the FUZZ will require of him.
