We’ve seen a lot of quadrotor drones lately, including their creepy ability to fly autonomously in synchronized formation and their musical talent in playing the familiar James Bond song.
In keeping with the blockbuster hit theme, here‘s someone who built a flying replica of Doc Brown’s DeLorean from “Back to the Future”:
According to the creator of the remote-controlled DeLorean (so it may not officially be accepted as a drone given that it’s not completely autonomous), inspiration came from the flying version of the time machine in “Back to the Future 2.”
SlashGear reports that it appears to be built with the core coming from a kit called AR.Drone, which it says provides a variety of control methods. Technabob states that the vehicle is powered by a lithium polymer battery and Turnigy 2204147 motors serve as the engines.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 4:13pmWhy isn’t anyone looking at all this evidence coming out regarding what I suspected all along, that Obama was NOT BORN HERE?? If that information comes out, he will surely not be re-elected. Looking at the GOP candidates, that may be our best hope of getting him out of office.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:04amMake one that looks like a Teradactile it’s no big deal! Go to HobbyKing and put quadcopter in the search window and everything you need will be there. From there warm up the Visa card.
