My first drone

[AnzacJack]

I remember my grandma bringing this back from america for me back in the early 80s. Petrol powered and flew great. I did end up loosing it when i put a bigger fuel tank on it so it would run for more than 30 secs. Maybe the first drone flyaway haha

Did the remote have calculator mount?

That thing is awesome!! It probably didn't fly away, it just went back to its home in a different galexy!

Haha. I actually didn’t have a remote. It worked by the engine giving some upwards thrust and the torque from the motor spinning the body. It had a tiny fuel tank that ran the engine for about 10 secs, so spin start the motor, hand launch and away it went.
