Gasoline-Powered Drone? | 3-hour flight time* | 17LB Payload

[Kristina Fowler]

Well - this escalated quickly. Did not see this coming. I searched this forum and didn't get a hit. Looks like it's been a well-kept secret. YouTube channel looks brand new - no videos yet. *The 3-hour duration is with no payload. I do like the modular concept. Opens up new possibilities. Practical applications? Vroooom!

Interesting. But a tad beyond my budget so I'll have to pass. Thanks for the info, Kristina.

I was at the testing of a gas powered drone yesterday. it is going to be a disaster for public relations, imagine if you will 5 gas powered weed eaters with no mufflers flying over head, at 100 feet up it was so loud you actually had to yell to talk to the person next to you. The flight characteristics are a prescription for a crash, gas engines can just not torque up fast enough to have a safe and balanced controlled flight, I was there, I saw it, I stayed under cover of the shed at the field for safety

Not to mention the chance of gasoline spillage onto a hot motor at the time of a crash.

Fuel cell anyone?
