Video Friday: Home Built Predator UAV Does Combat With Fireworks

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 10 of July , 2009 at 3:57 am

Now that anyone can fly Predator drones, there’s no reason why you can’t just build your own to fly around your back yard and fire off rockets. That’s what Cy Brown did, by mounting a first person video system on an R/C aircraft and equipping it with remotely launched weapons. Seriously, it’s got all of the important features that a Predator does, just on a much smaller (and less deadly) scale. Good thing, too, because we all know what happens when you mount real guns on UAVs…
