“Two Months ago my roommate drunkenly lost my small drone on a neighbors roof. Two months later after upgrading to a larger drone I attempted a rescue of the smaller drone using hooks I made from coat hangers. Here is the result.
Also would like to add that access to the roof wasn’t possible
which lead me to this haha.”
edit: first person description is from youtube, as a responsible drinker I have never lost my own quadcopters

This was better than the new Mission Impossible movie. Well done.

That’s some good flying there. What new drone did you get?

Damn that was pretty exciting. Almost felt like I was watching a daring Coast Guard rescue or something

Was the old one still functional?

I got a super cheap one on Amazon for around $50. It's really small, but it does have a camera and it's a great way to learn because parts are cheaper than learning on an expensive one. I'll eventually get a decent drone.

Now someone needs to make a setup to pick up stray baseballs and frisbees. 12-year-old me would have been forever grateful.
