Volantis is a better alternative to Amazon PrimeAir drone package delivery service

If I'm going to pay an extra delivery charge, I'd rather get my packages delivered by someone on a giant flying hexacopter like the Volantis.  hehhehe  Hey UPS and FedEx!  Go for the Wow factor with this just in time for Christmas.

BlueFlyerTV... first on camera and 350 QX Q&A...

I was intrigued and impressed by the Google+ Hangout offerings and decided to take a gander at it. It was quite easily to integrate the materials I had.  I also noticed that the show was posted on my YouTube channel really fast.  Nice!  Check it out and let me know what you think.  I'd really appreciate some feedback.

Amazon PrimeAir Drone Delivery: Give me a break!

The first thing that jump to my head after seeing this is, "Are you kidding me!"  An octocopter landing in front of somebody's suburban house or garage might not be an issue but last time I checked; people living in the city won't have that luxury. 

I get the WOW-factor that Amazon tried with this holiday gimmick.  Get people talking about Amazon during the holidays?  I'd be patting the back of the person who thought about this if I was Bezos. 

There are so many technical, safety, security issues to make this work.  As a quadcopter flyer, this is cool to me but I also think that this is an enormous undertaking to make happen.  At best, this is a fair-weather delivery system.  As with everything, weather will limit this system from doing its job.  I'm not going to delve into the technical hurdles such as battery life, GPS and frequency interference because strong winds alone will keep this from taking off.  The safety issues that this will cause will make it an unpopular delivery option.

Behind the scenes of "My 350 QX Crashed" video

I'm glad that many are intrigued by my mishap here but I have to be honest; I was not 100% sure how Horizon Hobby was going to respond to my request.  I took as many pictures at the scene of the crash just in case Horizon questions my account.  Of course, I also have this video to show.  I made sure I told the HH agent that I have proof.

I was also bummed that this happened to me after seeing all the complaints on Facebook and forums about the propeller issue that everyone is having.  My goal for this video is to not crucify Horizon Hobby but to show that 1. it does happen and 2. HH was open to doing the repair and exchange.

Horizon Hobby did send me all the parts to repair it but after a few tries, frustration set in and I decided to send my 350 QX and have them repair it.  I had to wait for three weeks to get it back.  I got somewhat testy with HH but in the end they actually sent me a brand new quad replacing my broken one.

350 QX crash mix: "Fell from the Sky" -Rated M

I've been having a great time flying my 350 QX and of course, I crash once in a while.  There are also several epic YouTube crash videos that made me cringe.  So, I decided to edit them together and have fun with it with this short mix.  I'm glad that the YouTubers I borrowed some of the footage from liked the video as well.

I like listening to House and Trap music.  I got lucky and found the music on Sound Cloud.  I thought the beat and beeping SFX used in the music matched that of the 350 QX warning sound.
