Fun little RC Quad copter

[The DB]

I have a friend that uses a small quad copter to get fishing line over tree branches to pull up antennas.

That's the first that that popped into my mind after wondering how big a quad copter would have to be to lift a GoPro camera.

Wouldn't take much to lift soom 40lb test fishing line over a tree or branch and land on the other side.

My buddy fly's gas choppers. My neighbor kids fly them as well, both are into 3D tricks. I used to fly gas powered RC planes as a kid. I just never flew heli's. They were mega bucks back then.

Lol, I was discussing that with a friend of mine. Some of the more expensive quads have an altitude GPS hold feature. I was thinking maybe lifting a long wire up.

Still having a blast. I think I'm about ready to move up to the gas heli. So much to choose from, but drains the wallet.

My new toy.

I have a decked out traxxas summit, has dual savox servos, proline trenchers, an MMM speed control and an 18v brushed motor. It will pull me and my 2 youngsters on a large garden wagon around the block. And it will go just about anywhere. The axial's are nice as well. Good climbers.

I put the truck body on it. Here is one with the stock body

When I was in my local hobby shop, they had a rock crawler that was about the size of a kids Radio Flyer wagon. I though at first, it was electric, but quickly noticed a 26cc 2 cycle engine. It had a sold sticker on it, $1650.00. Expensive, but very cool.
