This is more frightening than it looks. I watched Alanarchy's video and then scouted thru' a bunch of the associated stuff that appears on youtube. This ranges from an earnest geek:

showing off his new, highly sophisticated, toy (and when I say 'toy' a quick search shows that this is what it is primarily being marketed as) to a terrifying Russian chap displaying a Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun:

Yesterday's hi-tec spyware becomes today's toy.

From a privacy point of view, the Parrot AR.Drone iPad Controlled Remote Control Aircraft is already worrying enough. God help us when the 'Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun' becomes the must have item for every survivalist's gun cabinet..

Just picture this: A hot sunny weekend and you're drving down the road to the coast when you get held up by caravans, or in your part of the country, farm vehicles. You get out your Quadrotor with Machine Gun and hey presto, clear roads all the way. __{{emoticon}}__

actually, it's more likely, that some bugger will zapp me in my 1958 Morris 1000 while I'm peering, short sightedly, over/under/thru' the steering wheel

That motorbike appears to have eaten it's rider, spat out the helmet and settled down for a post-parandial nap. I think the Morris Minor is more user friendly

Actually my wife had a Morris Minor two years older than yours.

a terrifying Russian chap displaying a Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun:
I got my ...err..."legal department" interested and this is the report. __{{emoticon}}__
Kyle Myers, was born in Hart County, Georgia & plays the role of Dmitri Potapoff. FPS Russia started out posting footage of himself playing a number of first-person-shooter style video games. Myers, an avid gun enthusiast, wanted to take his videos a step further. He wanted to show how real guns work, compared to their portrayal in games. Myers began posting videos of himself testing out a number of different firearms on his family farm in Georgia. He created a character called Dmitri to play in the videos, an over-the-top Russian with a set of funny catchphrases, like “Let’s fuck some shit up!” and “I think the target is going to have a very bad day.
Now my"legal department" continues with some really juicy scandal, which you are going to have to find out on your own, if you so wish, but he definately isn't Russian. You know, like as in"It's a legal matter Baby". __{{emoticon}}__

A search on his name in Wikipedia is suggested __{{emoticon}}__
