The best part is the very end. I kept thinking, When is he going to open the window? Instead, he just reaches out and grabs it!

It seemed kind of small. I wonder what model it is.

Apparently, it was DJI similar to this.

Here's a clumsy attempt using a similar bird last February:

It is a DGI Phantom 2 quadcopter. It is the most popular quadcopter made and has brought the RC flying hobby to thousands who have never flown before.

This is a toy which he bought at a Hobby Shop. About a $400 toy but a toy all the same. The FPV equipment and the GoPro camera were extra of course.

The FAA has allowed model aviation for decades and the hobby is overseen by the hobby group the AMA. This hobby includes not only quadcopters but fixed wing planes, helicopters, control line planes, gliders, electric engine and gas motor planes and seaplanes.

This is a very creative hobby and it attracts dynamic people. This hobby has been the gateway for many who have gone into aviation, engineering and the space program. It is essential for cultivating inventors and growing the next generation of people who will build great things in America.

This is why the FAA is proposing new rules to shut down decades of the aero modeling hobby as we know it. The socialist beast does not want anyone to be exceptional and to excel. We need to fight to protect this hobby and our nation.
