Drone Deliveries
Saw this on another forum and had to laugh!
While its just an advertisement, how cool would drone deliveries be from AJ's or the local convenience store while on the ice!! https://www.yahoo.com/food/drone-bee...966526266.html Dan

The FAA is getting harsh on "commercial" use of hobby aircraft for commercial purposes. Most of this stuff has been too small to catch attention the last several years. Realtors using hobby helicopters to take aerial photos of high-end properties, chimney/tower inspectors using them and so forth.
I don't think we're going to see any kind of drone delivery services in the near future, not unless someone can convince the FAA to alter a lot of policy.

I question the payload on those also. I'll bet its more likely that box is empty than even a few beers inside.

Of course it was empty! It was an advertisement strictly for fun!
