WoW!

The little quadcoptor has arrived and is very, very nice. It is proving to be a fairly sharp learning cure but fun trying. I can make it crash in many spectacular ways but, so for, not actually fly in a straight line or even hover that well. The main problems are that I just don't have enough room to get the feel of the controls at home and cats. Yes, cats. We have two active puddy tats who want to chase that bird and torment it. They will sit very close and stare at it for up to ten minutes after a flight attempt . I'm afraid it will hurt them  or that they will kill it. Never mind, Samuel is with us this weekend and I may get the chance to get it into a much larger space.
The next item to arrive should be the tiny camcorder I have just ordered. It's a surveillance device and weighs next to nothing even when fitted into a key fob. Take it out of the key fob and it should sit happily on the quadcoptor without weighing it down too much.
