This looks nice and I certainly appreciate the battery life.

To the people that are excited because this is outside some regulatory limits. A few years ago there were no or few drone regulations and people abused this; the result was strict national and city regulations to the point that flying a drone is almost impossible (legally) in some cities in the US.

If people abuse the regulatory limits expect more strict regulations. I fly drones and I support such regulations.

BTW, a 249g drone would likely take down a small airplane.



A half ounce hex nut would take down a small airplane in the wrong place.


A half ounce hex nut doesn't fly under its own power.


It will if you attach an engine and fuel tank to it.

Or alternatively, a small bird in the wrong place can take down a plane. Or for that matter, a clog in the pitot tube from ice.
