Do you have a drone?

[Garandman]

Last year I was at a military/defense trade show in Taiwan and they were demonstrating 'law enforcement' drones that 'shot' a capture net to catch fleeing subjects. It was quite impressive. The net easily tangled up the guy running and slowed him down pretty much to a crawl! I was shocked and impressed.

And I bet where they demonstrated there were no trees.....

Late to this thread.

Wondered if you were familiar with TBN member VON? He has not been active for a long time, but does occasionally pop in. He rebuild Mog's, sells parts etc. Also the only member I am aware of that had his own Zamboni for a backyard ice rink.

There are old thread here on TBN about his first Unimog restorations.

He turned it into a full time gig Diesel Unimog New & Used Parts & Vehicles | VonsMog

You bet. Have done business with Von for parts, and helped him out with data cards etc. The Unimog community is pretty tightly knit

All it will take is a small canister of ricin and no more drones...there won't be any grandfathering...

I just watched James Bond's Goldfinger. I thought of your post on here.

According to this thread, Canada has now passed laws that effectively prohibit hobby drone flight, unless you own a lot of land and live more than 5.5 miles from any sort of airport.

Ottawa toughens rules for operating recreational drones - The Globe and Mail

Transport Minister Marc Garneau is cracking down on recreational drones with new safety restrictions to keep them nine kilometres from any airport and ban their owners from flying near people, buildings, at night and when first responders are at the scene of an emergency.

The rigorous rules that come into effect immediately also force recreational owners to clearly mark their drones with contact information. The federal government is promising even stricter regulations for all unmanned aircraft in June.

The first link was a good forum read. One contributor kept saying no Canadian would be allowed to fly because of the airstrip reg. I find that hard to believe? I'm 12 miles from the nearest. I'm new at this and have only flown 6 hours to date. I don't think I've violated any of those rules yet.

I would have never considered purchasing a Drone if I lived in the city and didn't have access to a farm to fly on.

I'm really enjoying it. Autel has a fantastic library of Tutorials. Fire up the Drone, turn on a video to learn the advanced stuff. Also learning video editing using Movie Maker. Good stuff for a rusty brain!!!!
