Kandahar eh? I'm in training right now to *potentially* go there in a month.
I've already heard all sorts of poo-pond stories. But it's Disneyland in Afghanistan! |

The worst part about having that thing crash into your beach is having to listen to it go on, and on, and on about the most mundane things.

these days you can build a drone from spare parts off ebay
the most prohibitive part of a project like that is having a reliable way to communicate with it. |

if I were using cellular transceivers, I would use one from every network that's not gonna do you much good over the ocean it needs to be able to triangulate its position using a variety of sources such as air traffic, cruise ships, GPS and other satellites it helps to have your own satellite in orbit, but if you don't you can use ones already up there passively, like way points. it needs to be autonomous so that if you lose communication, it can still record its trip and fly home. all very doable. |

Load a mission into your amateur UAV, turn the Go Pro on, and take off. Switch to autopilot mode and you've got yourself a local recon mission. |

That's scary. The military ones are bad enough as is, now we've got the DIYers to watch out for.

Ahhh. They can hardly shoot a rocket or a mortar let alone use a RADAR.
Well, ****... I'm not too far from there, and I'll be sure to let you know when I make it into GHHAAANDDDAAAAHHGAAARRR! <-- That's how they say it... Can't see all the hawking of the loogies or spitting when you read it, though. Quote:
The only think that blows it that it will do what it wants to until it lands unless you can establish a link.. The only reason I bitch is because I'm ATC and those things are in the way enough as it is. |

At what point were the game testers like "Yep, solid. Send it to the shelves!" Hell, all NES games were near impossible to beat. I'll PM you when I know for sure |
