Duane Wright had his new Parrot AR Drone at Anderson this past Saturday.

It is a 4-rotor platform that you can fly with an iPhone.
He let me give it a try, and the controls were very intuitive.

It has two on-board cameras, one facing forward and one straight down.
The image (front or down) is fed back to the phone so you can see what the drone sees.

I was able to fly a little by just looking at the image on the phone and took the following photo!

Thanks Bill...

Yes, the 1/15 indoor session has been cancelled.

They will be working in the hangar, so we won't be able to fly.

Things got a little rough at the 26-Feb session...

One of the wayward planes tried to land on one of the pilot's arm.

It's rumored that blood was drawn, but the pilot has made a full recovery!
