We're not there yet. The amount of battery power you would need is too heavy for any reasonably priced drone.

2018-02-09 05:39:01 UTC  

At some point in the future though it might become possible.

2018-02-09 05:40:00 UTC  

An octocopter with the largest possible rotor blades can only carry about 52 lbs of cargo.

2018-02-09 05:40:43 UTC  

This is assuming it's electric. If we go ridiculously big and use regular helicopters then maybe it's possible. I have however considered using RC planes to drop leaflets over large events.

2018-02-09 05:41:08 UTC  

But that costs about $500 and at least 20 hours of work and I have neither time nor money right now.

2018-02-09 05:43:12 UTC  

Holy shit I'd pitch in for something like that.

2018-02-09 05:44:49 UTC  

I'll need to do some testing before I recommend it for others. I'll keep you in the loop though.

building drones that are capable of picking up preschoolers....

2018-02-09 05:47:37 UTC  

The trick is to get them while they're younger. They weigh less then.

2018-02-09 05:53:02 UTC  

@Hussar That's a great idea! How would the fliers be released?

2018-02-09 05:56:10 UTC  

Probably a drogue chute attached to something underneath the Flyers. It pulls out itself and the stack of Flyers, and then they scatter everywhere.

2018-02-09 05:57:17 UTC  

It would be like the World War Two leaflets.

2018-02-09 05:59:17 UTC  

Dude, I have 13,000 fliers I need to find a way to distribute.

2018-02-09 05:59:37 UTC  

Like 4000 of them are already outdated because Thomas changed the design...

2018-02-09 05:59:38 UTC  

😄

2018-02-09 05:59:45 UTC  

Have you gotten them yet?

2018-02-09 05:59:58 UTC  

Yes, today or yesterday.

2018-02-09 06:00:10 UTC  

Haven't unpacked yet. I WILL take pics though!

2018-02-09 06:00:19 UTC  

And send them to you.

2018-02-09 06:02:54 UTC  

tbh, it's a bit underwhelming. 13,000 fliers are surprisingly compact, it's literally two medium sized boxes and one small box. There's two 12 foot banners in there too somehow.

2018-02-09 06:08:41 UTC  

Check and ensure everything matches the invoice.

2018-02-09 06:09:20 UTC  

I will count EVERY flier to make sure I haven't been jewed! 👌

2018-02-09 06:09:55 UTC  

But seriously, yes, I'll look into it tomorrow.

@Thomas Ryan please advise what shots you'd like.

2018-02-10 19:11:04 UTC  

He'll probably take pictures for us, but use the flag as a censor bar
