Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun
At first glance this quadcopter with built-in machine gun looks pretty real, and a bit scary. But after watching the video I am pretty sure it is more CGI than reality. Still cool though. Video of the machine gun quadcopter after the break.
Roman Candles Strapped To A Quadcopter Video
Makes perfect sense, right? You have a few roman candles laying around and a quadcopter. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter. Well at least this guy thought so. He strapped two roman candles onto his drone quadcopter and chased his friend around the yard shooting at him. Awesome. More videos of drones quadcopters doing fun […]
Hexacopter Drug Mule Crashes
A remote controlled hexacopter (not a drone) recently crash landed into a Mexican supermarket parking lot near the California border. Why did it crash? A greedy cartel overloaded the hexacopter with a full six pounds of methamphetamine. Mistake #1, too much weight. Mistake #2 piling the drugs on top of the copter instead of on […]
Walkera Voyager 3 FPV Quadcopter
The space that was pretty much dominated by DJI is starting to get crowded. More FPV (first person view) multi-rotor helicopters are hitting the market.

A South African based company, Desert Wolf, has received an order for 25 of it's “riot control" copter dubbed the Skunk Drone. The Desert Wolf Skunk Octacopter Drone has four paintball barrels and can fire up to 20 bullets per second. The bullets can be pepper-spray ammunition, dye-markers, or solid plastic balls (ouch). Not impressed? […]
RC Helicopters Lift A Woman
RC helicopters continue to improve with better motors, brains (DJI), blades, and servos. These high-tech combinations make for some seriously capable remote control copters. This video shows two RC helicopters lifting a woman off the ground. Maybe this delivery by drone business isn’t too far off. Video after the break.
Hubsan X4 H107D FPV Quadcopter

Sounds great, […]
PD-100 Black Hornet Spy Drone
Another high-tech gadget that we, the common folk, can't buy. The PD-100 Black Hornet looks like a toy but is marketed for military reconnaissance. The PD-100 will fly for 25 minutes on a charge and streams live video back to the user. Just like the DJI Phantom 2 Vision, but much smaller. The PD-100 Black […]
