And now you too can take a drone taxi...

Well it's getting there.. So far can only stay aloft for 10 seconds.
Not only is Amazon going to use them for deliveries, DHL now plans to use 'em
Add a DRONE to their pic

I kinda' could use a drone for a major house project going on.... I wonder if Amazon would use a drone to deliver a drone to me? How ironical....
Drones might even add a certain safety factor to, say, using things like fireworks. You could mount them on the drone and use electrical triggers to light them and then <hopefully> drop them. Great idea, eh? I wonder if a circular saw could be affixed accurately to a drone.... then you could make a whole bunch of cuts in the same plank, all pre- planned and accurately done. Man, I can see the uses for these things are going to be nearly limitless..... along with the need for Kevlar umbrellas for the entire population. Oh yeah, this is gonna' go somewhere, maybe even everywhere.
But seriously, these things are really pretty cool and I really would like to get one for documenting the current house work....

I want to figure out a way to get a drone to paint in places I can't reach.

They can be easily had, a wedding photographer friend just bought one to shoot photos from above. He's all into it, changing out the blades to carbon fiber, etc
I am just looking for a fairly inexpensive model, not anything like a professional photographer would use. I am not sure but I assume drones are sold by the caliber? If so, I think I want, oh, maybe a .32 auto drone or perhaps a .380 auto, or maybe even a 38 Special if they are not too much. I really do not have any need for the .45 ACP grade drone. And of course a .50 BMG is totally out of my price range.

But it would be great to video a whole series of roof trusses being erected (do I even need to say it? !!). Of course anything that could stay aloft for a hour or more is going to be prohibitively expensive.
