I don't like how the govt. has successfully classified these RC models as "DRONES" and are now attempting to legislate them much the same as they did with firearms and other such things.
Quadro-copters are cool and definitely adult toys that rank right up there with snowmobiles and such........
I've noticed more and more winter sporting events (skiing, snowboarding, etc..) that are utilizing "drones" to cover the respective races and that's pretty darn cool..........

More CGI is needed.
This last Star Wars film must be a low budget affair......
