Do you think Simon would stock these?

Furthermore, please be advised of our complimentary specialised weaponry that can negate the need to even look round a corner:-

My company is developing a telescopic, triple-jointed version to address your point of view. Patents have been applied for and the target price will only show a modest increase on the Mk I to £98.000 - DELIVERED.

I'll take 160 then.  :D

What about spares backup, instruction manuals and training courses? Shall we say another £22 each and we have a nice round figure of £120.  ;D

I have a contact in the US Department of Defense if you would like an introduction. I would of course expect a little "commision". Shall we say 20% of all sales?  :D

It's good to do business with you.

The specs of this thing is fairly impressive though (not £125,000 a pop impressive mind).

1000m range, and 25 minutes battery life. Also has a moveable camera. I'd be interested to know what the resolution of the camera is.

Incidentally, how easy would it be to make out the shape of a person (as opposed to say, a bin) from altitude in an unknown location, with the wind blowing your 16gram FPV plane around.

Surely a micro quad would have been a far superior option...

Does it use bendy bullets?

Yeah but who would be a bloody spotter in Afghanistan?

"Yes I can still see the model."
"OK, but the Taliban can now see you. At least I can hide behind this mud wall."
"Oh, so they can."
"Bang"
"Ouch"
"Damn this CAA exemption."
;D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the CAA rules with regard to 'Spotters' for Micro 16gram FPV's allow for the use of binoculars ??

Or a bigger quad and you could drop broken Draper tools on the Taliban from a great height.  ;D

Dunno about that but you would still have to stick your head up above the wall.

How about a Mk2 periscope with binoculars built in? That way the nano heli deal could still go through but you could also flog them your periscope and everyone would be happy.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

You just don't know when to stop, do you? ;D ;D ;D

We do seem to be giving him a lot of ideas !!

Well personally I'm disappointed he's not entered into this properly serious commercial opportunity.

[wgt40w]

Probably he's not joined in for fear of us demanding commission fees !!

[electrotor]

PS.... to eliminate the enemy and make proper use of Draper tools whilst fleecing the taxpayer and paying for his Caribbean Island. What a waste of a business opportunity.

;D

I've got a mixture of Facom, Britool and some Snap-On inherited from guys who have retired. The Facom tube wrench is a brillliant tool and the Snap-On stuff is damn near unbreakable.
