Vineyard Patrol

Posted by Emily Johnston on February 11, 2015 at 4:40pm

I want to fly one of these drone aircraft in our vineyard as a form of bird control. Where can I buy one? How can it fit it with some sort of noisemaking device? Has anybody done such a thing?

Incidently, I do not do facebook or twitter or any of that stuff, much prefer email.

    Hey Emily. I'm not sure about a noisemaking device (that might be a cool original project to post), but you can also check out this guide for drone ideas: http://uavcoach.com/buy-a-drone/

    It's got a section for drones under $200 and aerial videography drones.

    Thanks Matt. I'm not sure why I cannot reply to your email, but it says "don't do that." I am in Maryland., about 20 minutes from a small town in Pa, so I have access to both states. The only hobby store I know of is more into crafts than this sort of thing. I am a licensed pilot, so I think I would understand the nuts and bolts. However, I have never "flown" a drone. I'll see what Google turns up.

    You might try to google any local rc flying clubs, they might be able to offer some insight on where to purchase one in your area

    My $ limit is around $500. I am perfectly capable of flying this thing, and would want to do that anyway. No fun if it's auto. I have no idea where to buy such a thing, and I do not shop online. Old lady, don't trust online buying.
