Wow, what a fantastic idea. How fast will it fly? Even 45 mph could be enough to shoot me on the twisties. Not fast enough for most of my friends...

Thanks Steve! Finding out about Lily will be my distraction for today.

Cherish young geniuses . Such a clean and "smart" drone . I'm amazed .

Lily rocks!
Yes, I pre-ordered...her max speed is 25mph though. Won't be able to follow me through the Dragon, plus I think she would need unobstructed airspace.
In the video, note the mountains and cliffs, and lack of trees....

Yeah, read that on their website. I have been thinking hard about what I could use it for, and at present nothing comes to mind. At 25mph it won't do much for the MC world, with no obstruction avoidance it would be hard to use in the woods. As soon as I think of a real use then Lily comes to my house. I bet LE already has tech like this at some level.

Love this technology but I don't have much need right now for a "follow-me" drone. OTOH, I'm very interested in drones in general and more specifically, quads, to fly and use as FPV (First Person View) platforms. Here is a little project I finished just yesterday:

Attachment 13995

All left to add is the TX (video transmitter) and camera which I should receive in the next couple of days. The FPV goggles are back-ordered so I'm not sure when that will arrive. In the meantime, I'm just flying line-of-sight. It's a blast flying these things and I can fly right in my back yard, no runway needed .

Concur. My next rotorcraft:

Why let the drone have all the fun?

Just throw Lily out the window of the car next time you get pulled over and let her record.....

See, there's the rub. I haven't been pulled over since the 90's. Might be neat for skeet or clays shooting, but there is obvious risk there. Water skiing is best at 35mph or so, not that I do that very often. No one wants to see video of me watching football or baseball. I'm still trying, because I really feel like I 'need' one....

Me either, actually. But that's not stopping me from getting one. Good call on the skeet though!
