Aloha RHP,

     But, does it have gravity flow?  And will it work up-side-down?  I think with storks put out of business, the new drones will come without flight packs installed.  You will have to order your flight pack separately but they will come individually wrapped!

I only wanted to have that extra capacity battery, for chasing pesky gulls.

We used to take balls of bread dough, mixed with moonshine... slingshots. Say no more.

If you boys want a really cool slingshot have a look at the Big Shot. It's an 8 foot (2.4 m) long launcher.

We use these to get a weighted line far up into the tree to set up the climbing rope.
You might also use it to get a drone down...

Here's a link for the original version

Arrows work just as well for propelling string pulling rope...
My old professor friend in Czech Republic, Zuska  builds pretty awesome slingshots though.

I introduced swivel head slingshots to him, now he utilized that, incorporating this feature...

I love my laser pointer though.... ha

Aloha RHP,

     All interesting but I would think that the biggest variable for error would be the torque at the yoke ends.  Uneven pull in the X axis can cause inaccuracies or a Magnus effect allowing the propelled object to curve around an obstacle due to spin on the Y axis.

     The ends of the yoke could have a gauge to determine irregular torque to allow specific amounts of Magnus spin or to insure an even balance of torque between the two yokes.  It might even help with trick shooting.

     Just sayin!  Maybe your Czech professor friend could develop such a gauge.

Aloha and Drone On!

He doesn’t have much free time for frivolous folly. Hahaha

But you May contact him, If you wish.  ;-)

He might even reply back... you know.

Anyways, glad I mentioned them, because I learned about this new model.
