Demonstrating a $50,000 Drone

Just got back from Europe, I was hoping for better video, most of it is me talking but the last couple minutes has some flying.

Very cool, Paul.
You had a huge crowd... intrigued.
Good memories, Yes?

Blessings,

Cool bird. Is this an annual show that you do? I seem to recall a video of you demoing a bunch in the cage a while back?

Do you do anything with fixed wing vehicles? Looking at starting a company that surveys at land and need ir and other capabilities.

Cool. To get even more crowd engagement and excitement, I'd suggest yelling and pointing at the crowd "You Get A Drone" "You Get A Drone" "You Get A Drone" "You Get A Drone" "You Get A Drone".

I see why you needed a net. It didn't look very stable.

Absolutely, I would look at a fixed wing Aerostar, and Optical, IR and even LIDAR payloads are common and (relatively) cheap. PM me if you would like me to hook you up with some contacts, and don’t worry, I am not in sales
