@cengland0@heartny@Ignorant No. No, it doesn’t. Just like two helpings of dessert yesterday does not make me feel any better when the wife says no dessert for me today.
@GeckoD Yeah, you actually have to figure out something else to do with your life in between flights. It would probably be a good thing if my computers worked that way.
I want one, but I feel too meh to pull the trigger right now (I think I ate too many whoppers). I hope the rest of you buy all of them so I don’t have to wring my hands over this right now.
The very few reviews on Amazon (for the “best” model) give me pause. One said it was incorrectly wired, another bought two which both failed, one positive review just said that her husband loves it, and the most helpful positive review includes a very pixelated video, which could just be poor downsampling, but left me underwhelmed.
@Bumplepimp@ThunderChicken yeah. Gout used to be the ‘disease of Kings’ back in the day, since they were the ones that could afford to eat the aged cheeses, drink the wines etc. Now it’s an equal opportunity illness that anyone can afford to have.
We got one last year, it was easy to set up and use but was completely destroyed the first time out, when it got into a tree. The actual drones are way too delicate for what they are being used for.
I am still looking for batteries for this drone. SMH. I ordered two from kingsdrone.com but they sent me a fake tracking number. Then after a month, when I complained, they responded by telling me the item ‘just’ arrived in our holding warehouse. What a bunch of B.S. Just a shelf model for me now.

@somf69 Oooothat is good!
No new survey tonight? My OCD about that is going to kill me.
@cengland0 I keep checking, but now I am starting to shake from survey withdrawal.
@cengland0 @heartny but you got 2 polls yesterday so doesn’t that make up for it?
@cengland0 @heartny @Ignorant No. No, it doesn’t. Just like two helpings of dessert yesterday does not make me feel any better when the wife says no dessert for me today.
@arosiriak @cengland0 @heartny fair point
@cengland0 @Ignorant In a word, nope.
@cengland0 @heartny so you’d like dessert every night?
@cengland0 @Ignorant Is that a trick question?
@cengland0 @heartny @Ignorant
What’s desert of choice though?

I think I killed one of these in my back yard the other day. It’s a little smaller than the average Texas mosquito.
Those Flight Times vs Charge Times are killer.
@GeckoD Yeah, you actually have to figure out something else to do with your life in between flights. It would probably be a good thing if my computers worked that way.
@GeckoD Well if you buy enough of them…
Tonight meh just drones and drones and drones on with these.
I want one, but I feel too meh to pull the trigger right now (I think I ate too many whoppers). I hope the rest of you buy all of them so I don’t have to wring my hands over this right now.

@ciabelle downsampling is a sexy word too infrequently used.
I still have the last 2 drones from MEH…not worth crap.
These are cool and all, But, will they help ease my painful case of gout? I think not. Good day.
@Bumplepimp Gout is no damned fun.
@Bumplepimp @ThunderChicken yeah. Gout used to be the ‘disease of Kings’ back in the day, since they were the ones that could afford to eat the aged cheeses, drink the wines etc. Now it’s an equal opportunity illness that anyone can afford to have.
I never thought I’d reach a point in my life where I had too many flying remote control toys, but here we are.
Cant fill out shipping form to Canada…dafuq!!
@Minoshow Nope, fucking meh doesn’t ship fucking internationally.
Why don’t you come buy it in the U.S. and fly it over the border?
We got one last year, it was easy to set up and use but was completely destroyed the first time out, when it got into a tree. The actual drones are way too delicate for what they are being used for.
@robin0575 Fair point, if what you are using it for is to crash into trees.
How about next time try avoiding the trees and see how that works out?
@robin0575 @therealjrn Or upgrade with an electric chainsaw attachment, but that reduces the flight time a bit.
KuoH
Yeah the drone tends to fly sideways with that attachment added. And yes you’re right it decreases the flight time exponentially…
I bought one. I’ll fly it once or twice and then put it on the shelf with all the other flying toys I own.
Titan: Flight range 800ft.
Communication range 328 ft.
What could possibly go wrong?
/giphy shrug
Does anyone know the contact info for the company? It shipped with a stick broken off of the controller.
@sir_bear Link is up there in the specs.

Got one for Christmas and it won’t calibrate. Wonder how long it’ll take Merkury support to do something about it. Meh.
