New Parrot Fixed Wing : Disco

[dogzilla]

Interesting name considering the TBS Disco is pretty well known. It also looks a bit like a TBS Caiprinha.

Now us fixed wing flyers will be targeted next as the new wave of fixed wing drones comes out.

! No longer available

Coming to an A&E room near you ............. "My Parrot drone chopped off my fingers!"

Crucially it is also virtually "impossible" to crash, Parrot's PR director Vanessa Loury tells WIRED.

"Virtually impossible" in the same sense as the Titanic was unsinkable?
or
"Virtually impossible" in the sense that all the inevitable crashes will only happen in a virtual world?

The 'automatic landing' just looked like it piled into the ground. Interesting to see them coming into the fixed wing arena, although not really sure what the target market will be here. Depends on the price I guess.

I think they`ve been doing fixed wing commercial for a while now,albeit under a different name:

Wait until the wannabee idiots get hold of this, as they try launching it out of their own back gardens...You don't get to do anything slow or automatically with a plane like you do a Multi-Rotor......... :D

  With luck, it may put them right off, real quick.
