If anyone is tempted, here is some info from elsewhere:
This Radio-Controlled kit contains 3 different unique modes of flight included in one single package, with a simple clip together design that does not require complex assembly. The first variant is the core component, the quad-copter drone, which can fly around and get into small areas with ease. It’s enclosed propellers and small footprint make it ideal for flying even in limited spaces. The second variant is a “flying glider” which rotates the drone’s motors forward and down to propel it in flight. It too is fine for even limited spaces but watch out for walls! The third and final version of the kit is a hovercraft, which uses the power of the drone’s front blades to create a cushion of air that the vehicle rides on, while the rear motors provide forward thrust. Each mode has an individual piece and can only be flown separately. Product includes a transmitter and rechargeable battery for up to 15 minutes of flight on a single charge, but requires 4 AA (not included) batteries for the remote. Measurements vary between each configuration, with the largest being the aircraft at 12.5” of wingspan and 5” of length. Recommended for all ages 14+.
• Flies for 10-15 minutes on a full charge.
• Has 3 different adaptable modes of flight as a drone, aircraft, or hovercraft, with gyro-stabilization for easy control.
• Includes a rechargeable battery, charger, and remote control, but requires 4 AA batteries for the transmitter to operate.
• Measures up to 5” in length with a 12.5” wingspan in the aircraft configuration.
• Recommended for all ages 14+
And reviews:
“great fly’s well could use a bit longer battery”
“Very bad quality. Battery charges but drone does not work. Not a very good toy. It did not work, had to return it”
@ircon96@pakopako The firework dodging or the roasting of the beans? It has been toasty around here lately We had a ton of rain which prevents roasting outside, so I try to get it done in the early morning heat. It now takes me seven fingers to count how many Meh members I’ve sent coffee too @yakkoTDI is next on the list. It was just roasted. I just hate going to the post office
@capnjb@ircon96@yakkoTDI the coffee; though as a bit of trivia, stuffing coffee or chocolate beans in your pants is a great way to deter sniffing dogs from getting too close.
@ircon96 Let me get Yakko his coffee first. You can be next on the list if you’re a coffee drinker Shoot me a whisper and we will figure something out. The only requirement is patience as I don’t like going to the post office
@capnjb Oops, i almost missed this… That’s so nice of you! You’re doing the Lord’s work. I do like my coffee, especially cold brew, but i haven’t been making it at home lately, usually just stopping for some when I’m out & about. I’m sure I’ll get into the habit of home brewing again at some point, but i wouldn’t want you to go to all that trouble just to let fresh, delicious beans go stale while waiting for me to get my shit together. I really do appreciate your kind offer, but that would be sacrilege – I’d never forgive myself. Lol
@ircon96 I roast more than I drink. And I love the smell of roasting beans. There are so many bits of the process you miss when you just walk into a coffee shop and ask for a grandefrappomochachinohalfcaffwhathave you. I’ve currently got a rotating list of at least a dozen folks I like to share coffee with. It’s no pasta drop… but a coffee drop hopefully won’t suck. Up to you if you’d like to send me a whisper with where I can send it, but thus far, there have been zero people killed by a serial killer that I have shipped coffee to So the math is good. Ball is in your court.
@ircon96 Ok… @yakkoTDI has coffee inbound. You’re on the clock. If I don’t hear from you in 24 hours-ish I’m going to start pestering @kyeh to see if she is a coffee drinker I might do that anyway Lemme know…
@ircon96@Kyeh@yakkoTDI Well send me a whisper with where to send the stuff and you can be in the secret-not-so-secret coffee club I just need to know if you have a grinder or not The only rule of coffee club is I don’t like the post office, so you have to have patience You get it when you get it. Ask @star2236… it took over two years to get coffee out to her. That was my fault I’m a little better with my timing these days, but you get what you get, and you like what you get.
@capnjb Omg, i just made it back far enough in my email notifications to see the rest of this conversation, it got buried with junk & spam, story of my life. I’m glad i found it, though, the serial killer math gave me a good chuckle!
@capnjb@ircon96 I’m not so sure about that math. There may be zero linked cases so far to a coffee serial killer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there have not been any victims ever.
KuoH (doesn’t drink coffee so don’t even think about it!)
@riceatusc That sounds like a new-era nursery rhyme…
…but what you’re asking is moot. This is a “transforming” drone. That is, the remote controls the engines, but you only get one set of engines for all the chassis.

I bought so many drones from you guys. They were maybe $5.
@sammydog01 - Same here, and they lasted about that long. $5 worth of fun and mostly exasperation.

Is that Statler and Waldorf?
@blaineg My favorites! But it can’t be – they don’t serve food, they just verbally eviscerate the chef. Kinda like the anti-James Beards.
I’d like to see that take a direct hit or three from a firework rocket
@capnjb Your neighbors must love you!
@ircon96 1) The firework show was not at my house and 2) I roast fresh coffee for all my neighbors so I can do no wrong
@capnjb @ircon96 you better not be doing that in this heat!

@ircon96 If you missed the other thread, I flew in the eye of the hurricane but stayed in the air after a few direct hits

Too bad moving sucks so bad, or I’d be looking for a house in your neighborhood!

It’s definitely good coffee, was worth the wait.

@capnjb @kuoh Good point, just look at that poor woman that got poisoned by her dentist husband – you don’t make protein shakes, do you, @capnjb?
@capnjb @ircon96 @kuoh That case was crazy - I fully expect it to become a Dateline episode.
When the drone breaks, can I use the remote on my submarine?
@riceatusc That sounds like a new-era nursery rhyme…

@riceatusc If the drone breaks over water, the drone is your submarine. Sadly, it’s unlikely to work very well when broken and submerged.
It would take a bit of crafting, but perhaps you might want to take a shot at building one of these:
