As reported on NPR. https://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/01/30/269039542/beer-drone-can-buzz-the-skies-no-more-faa-says I am happy FAA took action. Take note of the beer distributors offensive comments about “knuckleheads” flying drones. I take that as an insult to those who enjoy the FPV hobby.
Just like Amazon and others this is a self promoting fake video. Sure you could fly around an empty box with that copter but thats about it. And if it did work, Just what you want a flying buzz saw delivering beer to drunks and children. What could possibly go wrong?
