    Done. With a few other extras as well.
    Someone told me you can get blades that are a bit quieter as well but need to research that a bit more.

    The biggest risk of crashing that ive seen is after being attacked by birds, birds seem to feel very threatened by them.

    Thats a point
    We have Native Falcon here (Sparrow Hawks)
    We watch them giving the Harrier Hawk's a spitfire escort out of the area when ever they float in to their zone

    I spose not. Good advice on here helped.

    Looking forward to see if it can follow me and the dog when doing some upland bird hunting this winter.

    Might save time looking thru the spotting scope a bit as well

    Arrrg. Never thought of that. Good heads up tho.

    Keas and falcons might pose a problem in areas I want to use it.
    Might have to mount a coaxial defence system on it.
