If anybody finds a Splash Drone floating around Lake Norman let me know. It had a mind of its own tonight. I could see on the FPV that it landed the water somewhere in Little Creek area but got dark before I could find it. It might have busted apart and sunk? DON'T BUY A SPLASH DRONE. Good concept but to many issues with them.
^^That's what he posted on FB.

Sorry, Haven't checked back on this post lately. Splash actually did pretty good until I update the firmware. It flew away after doing that so not sure exactly what happened. I think it still has potential but I think they rushed getting it to market and now they keep changing things to try and make them better but sometimes it goes the wrong way. I think they are getting closer to fine tuning the autonomous version but keep check with Rick Moore to see the latest. I would probably hold off a little longer on buying anything and let him finish testing. Go through him if you do want to get one to test out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SplashDrone/
Probably one of the cooler shots I got with it,

anyone try out drones with wheels? ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL-6PIrMAzM ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfEdLmo0y5U
I'm sure drones with a hull will be next so that it can come to you by water?
