There Be Drones at Southwoods RV Resort in Byron, New York

Campgrounds are a great places to meet interesting people.  I, and fellow Escapees RV Club members, met David and Brenda Bott.  They write the popular RV blog, Outside Our Bubble.

David and Brenda are Xscapers, working age, full-time RVers.  They work online and rely on consistent internet to do their jobs .  David and Brenda are very comfortable using technology and have many interests.






David shared his experiences
flying drones with our group.







The Federal Aviation Administration regulates governmental, commercial and recreational drone use.  Click on this link for the FAA's rules for recreational drone owners.





The white drone is a Phantom
 Quadcopter.

It is one of many commercially
 made drones for hobbyists.





Dave shows beautiful scenery he filmed with his drone.  It's amazing!






David built this black
drone.





He demonstrates the stability
of the camera as the drone
is tilted from side to side.
Next... the demonstration.






David & his Phantom
Quadcopter












It obeys the controller's command
 to stay in one place & hover.












David shows Anne how to
work the controls on
the remote.





She masters drone flight
with just one lesson. 











The larger, black drone
is ready to fly.

It takes off...






...and hovers above us.

Thank you, David, for sharing your experiences flying drones.   Now I know that they are easy to fly.

Eric, I want one!  Let's wait for a sale.
