Donut Destroyer and the Drone
-
get well soon DD. And may I kindly suggest you find a different profession since this is now your second run in with a drone in less than 12 months? I mean you must be like a cat where you have 9 lives since you already fell out of a tree trying to retrieve a drone and lived, now this?
-
Just about to order some stuff for my drone. Might add some extra thick gloves :D.
Looks nasty hope it heals soon
-
What the hell did he try to swat it out of the sky with his bare hand.....
Ouch.
Hope you're feeling better.
-
@mlnews That's why you DO NOT fly with carbon fiber props around people. Ouch! (I don't know any more than what's been posted here, but it'd be a lot harder to cause that sort of damage with plastic props.) Do I need to start a drone safety thread?
-
I don't think he has much choice, he flies and trains people on commercial drones. He uses the big boys, the ones that fly over the ocean and go computer controlled for a long distance and are used to inspect resources at sea and stuff like that. I don't think plastic props are an option on that kind of gear.
-
The stuff that he uses is basically like the military stuff.... except without the guns.

Ah, that's a whole other level than my 450mm hobbyist stuff. No wonder they can cause serious bodily harm.
-
And he does rotary quad copter stuff and fixed wing, too. Wide range.
He can't type, but he is watching the thread.

I have always hated that scene because they did not even bother to do anything with the cuff of his shirt.
I mean really, we know it is a movie, but still bad is bad.
-
@JaredBusch LOL, me too. I always feel that that scene was so lazy.
-
This is a few months old.. but Yeair looks like a fun 'toy'... Nice to see cages over the blades
