Dang, those quad-copters seem so fun. I'm ashamed to admit I've let me French go by the wayside, so I didn't understand a word in the video. The skill it takes to fly one of those things through a maze of trees is impressive!

I've seen a lot of videos using quad-copters to capture footage. Here's a really cool one you bike guys might like, A Little Fun with MotoGP guys at Rossi's Ranch.

If one happened to appear over our Mexico property, it would be a target.
