I'm glad you got it down!

And I'm glad you're having fun with it. I look forward to more videos.

drone update: I flew it too high and lost it and returned it to amazon without the drone in the box and still got a full refund

Jeff Bezos is starving because of me

I can't wait for the video of Amazon Police busting down his door.

Hey lets have no more of that! The man has a yacht payment to make, OK? An honest businessman who makes an honest living off the back of low wages and a 50 percent take off the top of all purchases. Besides, you wanna end up as the only schnook on the block with no drone delivery service?

Bezos will be fine. He can always petition his ex for a loan.

Unless she's already exhausted her charitable donations.

Oh, hey! If you want to avoid that happening with any replacement you might buy, you could try my trick. I attach it to the clip on the end of my fishing pole line (the part you clip your leader with hook and bait onto), push the button that lets the line run free, and then launch. Get it stuck in a tree? Just reel in and pull it out. Comes down where you can't find it? Reel in, and if it gets stuck, follow the line as you reel in. I haven't lost mine, and I've had it almost 10 years*, now!

*back when a 50 buck drone had no smart-phone control, or even much electronic stabilization. you actually have to work at flying mine. I learned how to fly it by launching from the kitchen floor, flying at low level, and buzzing my cats. they had fun batting it out of the air. made for some interesting videos.
