   I can’t help but wonder (strictly for legal purposes) what the useful payload on one of those things is… I wonder how much quicker a few extra pounds would drain the power source.

   You might look at other sources as well. Hobby Lobby comes to mind.

   These things have powerful little brushless electric motors. Motors like them are available in a multitude of sizes. They should be able to be changed out if necessary. Bigger motors will require bigger props.

   The batteries are available in different sizes as well.

   I am intrigued with the camera. It records to an on-board thumb drive.

   The drones look like a lot of fun.

     I love FPS Russia! He’s funny & interesting. That beast he’s flying/shooting is some scary, Terminator/SkyNet crap!

     Did you notice that each rotor has independent variable pitch control, to adjust aircraft roll and attitude?

     That is some “next generation” tech indeed!
