I imagine that we could have bought a new house for what the rig cost..hahaha...

I did see a jet plane with engine in one of the vendors tents that had a 6' wing span and the price was a measly $3200.00.

Check out RC boats. The sailing yachts are nice but the fun begins with the one's with weapons that actually sink another vessel.

I doubt we will have one in Texas, if its annoying and making a buzzing sound that wakes our kids, we will just shoot it down if it over our property.

Which should be your right. But our court system is so screwed up the pilot of the drone might sue you and win. :roll:

Look at the bright side. If it goes down on your property you could confiscate it, repair it, and learn to fly. Just need a controller or maybe an app for a smart phone. If nothing else you might get a GoPro camera out of the deal. I've got a feeling I'm not making any drone pilot friends today. :roll: :lol: :lol:

I am not looking for one to shoot down, in my house, I always yell, "I have a gun, and if I have to come out there, your toast. Then either the "vistor" leaves, or the kids go back to bed and shut their doors. but if it hovers over my wife laying out in the pool, all bets are off. LOL

Well at least if it drops in the pool the GoPro will survive. :lol:
