First I heard them, then I saw them! I immediately hit video and started to land. Not one hit me but, wow they were all around! Not sure if they were curious or being somewhat aggressive. So M2Z is grounded for today.
Know the feeling... 4 progressively closer passes and I flew home.
Luckily for you, you get to fly another day.First I heard them, then I saw them! I immediately hit video and started to land. Not one hit me but, wow they were all around! Not sure if they were curious or being somewhat aggressive. So M2Z is grounded for today.

I think MA2's front sensors looks like eyes ...and 3D at that, so I'm not sure painted/pasted on eyes would be effective.Let me pose this here... I tried on Reddit and was roundly criticized, but I'm quite serious...
I was reading the story about the Eagle that took down the drone in Michigan, and one commentator said that has been flying drones commercially for years, and he painted (pasted?) eyes on his drone similar to the way moths and butterflies use eyespots to ward off enemies.
This from the interwebs - "Butterfly and moth wings can be stunningly beautiful. More importantly, some have colourful and elaborate patterns that serve as a defence against hungry predators."
Is this a common practice? A lesser-known pro tip? Have you done it? Would you do it?
I got bombed pretty good the other night while flying over water ... if there is a reasonable chance this could help I just may be willing to give it a shot! I can think of a couple of cool skin designs, I wonder what would be the most efficient other than sticking a couple of googly eyes on it
