OK- So finding a shirt like this might actually be very necessary...




So last night Justin was outside for his nightly flight to clear his head of the day, work, etc. All was normal until one of our extremely chatty neighbors kept trying to talk to him while he was flying. Well, he lost control of the drone just as the wind caught it and it went down. Initially we didn't panic because this wasn't the first time this has happened. Unfortunately, this time it happened to be in an area full of huge trees. As of now, about 24 hours later, after trying several locator apps and common sense, still no drone. Thankfully we do have our phone number on the drone and let a few neighbors know the situation so we hope it will turn up still.

However, it is a good lesson for newbies out there. Not every drone has an auto-return or a self locator in it so if your doesn't make absolutely sure your focus stays with the drone and/or at least the camera feed. It can be frustrating trying to fly a drone in a public area. Every time we have any of our out, immediately people come out of everywhere with all kinds of questions and requests so if you are easily distracted keep that in mind.

As for us- if we don't find this drone, it's more a sentimental loss but we are definitely going to start getting shirts like this to politely discourage so many distractions
