Crashed in a city

Go look up the definition of "toy"
Ok.

Alrighty, I'm back and homework complete!:

toy
noun \ˈtȯi\
: something a child plays with

: something that an adult buys or uses for enjoyment or entertainment

: something that is very small


I own about a dozen toy drones (3 Phantoms), and about a dozen and a half of fixed wing RC toys.
I don't fly toy helicopters - they crash too easily.
And I feel the joy of a child whenever I fly!

They are toys. Shrugs shoulders.

Demanding I [or anyone] change parlance is a fools errand.

Good job I wasn't demanding anything then..

What did you say earlier about encouraging argumentative responses??

I purely stating (another) fact..

Pretty good record so far.. I only joined today too
 
That's why you should act responsibly & stop calling P3 a toy (in the last few posts I have come across you)

The responsibility is yours too!

Just saying..

I enjoy firing my assault rifle for enjoyment and entertainment. I love my toy!! ;-)

Almost!... (Some expansion on your definition needed - I'm ignoring the context for the moment!)

& Thank You for being my 1.2

I agree calling it a toy really belittles its capabilities and the damage it could do.
It really is about time people stopped thinking of it as a toy!
It is a very capable small unmanned aircraft. It's capabilities never cease to amaze me. And I have flown RC for many years and also have about 200 hours flying full size aircraft.
To see it sitting there in gusting 30mph winds and giving stable images STILL give me the wow factor. Turn GPS off in those conditions - that is what RC pilots of old had to put up with lol.

So are you saying my DR-650 motorcycle is not a toy? How about my boat, my snowmobile, RV, hell even my car are all toys to me. Will they cause damage? Can they hurt someone? They can kill someone in a heartbeat, but to me they are all, including my P3P, TOYS.

Just saying. :rolleyes:

No one is objecting to a person calling their own P3 a toy. Just don't tar us all with the same brush!
 
Whatever brings you pleasure and joy.

A sadist would say his thumb nails and rack are his toys.

Glad you got the concept!

Actually a masochist would call them implements of torture, his/her toys.
A sadist would classify those as tools of the trade.
In our modern civilized society.

Do you like my forum handle? Hahaha
What about my self depracating avatar? ;-)

It is all good.

Taken the definition of "something a child plays with" or "something (as a preoccupation) that is paltry or trifling" All would be inaccurate as would be "a headdress of linen or woolen hanging down over the shoulders and formerly worn by old women of the lower classes"

Personally you can call my P3 a toy but don't be calling it a DRONE!

Drones are what the American Federal Government use to kill people.

Awesome. Thanks for showing these intellectual bums that you are a decent pilot and have the video to prove it. Hahaha

Much More of the same please.

This reply serves no purpose but to incite arguementative responses.

I have at that time 5 hours of sleep when i made that post. Just explaining here myself.
Big fly over the city, no incidents, all variables were considered check and re-checked. Flawless.

Goodspeed,

Oh I should have deferred to the expert (that was typed tongue in cheek, referring of course to your avatar and not intended to sound as a sarcastic insult - I find I need to clarify my posts on here or some will take offense).
But you are right.
 
Hahaha, yes, why confuse the confused, any more.
Is my Align TRex 700E a toy, or large hobby grade model? Chuckles

Come play with me? Hehe
& yes, You can hand catch it, if you dare!! J/K

I call my guns toys!! It's just a term. Obviously guns are not toys, neither are drones.
