A good drone story
With so much negativity surrounding drones, just thought I'd share this good news story. I didn't know RCMP drones had infrared camera capability!

It’s the perfect application of that technology.
Ten or so years ago, one of first systems that were authorized for police operations saved a life on a cold night in Saskatchewan using early I.R. [YOUTUBE]apEnf-0Rzb4?si=UUxIudgWGwLItoiR[/YOUTUBE]

Re: A good drone story
another good drone story...
A lone drone pilot joined our club to fly his MAVIC drone under RPAS rules earlier this summer. Last time out he asked about a good fixed wing model to fly as a beginner. We let him fly a Timber with the standard buddy box system and I was impressed with his ability and smooth stick operation on the first try. He was able to navigate the circuit like he had been taking many lessons before (which he had not). A natural, and will likely continue to enjoy his drone along with fixed wing models very soon. We should welcome all facets of this hobby as the future will be nothing like the past.
