Still getting used to this thing. Might make you dizzy at one point. These tanks were bone dry late last year

Very cool, not just fun, but could be a very useful tool for the ranch.

Was it hard to learn to fly ? No not at all...you can release the controls and it will hover over that spot..it's also got a built in autopilot that will allow you to fly a route for up to 25 minutes hands free.

Can you watch the video feed in real time, or does it go to an internal (on-board) storage device for download later?

I personally have flown it with the phone 1.5 miles away. It's not the phone that limits it it's the receiver that you are holding. It automatically returns to spot where it took off if from if it loses signal from the aircraft

At low levels 50-70' it may spook them...but higher altitudes 100-400' I doubt it.
