A drone wouldn't stay in the air then. Armour = weight. Weight=something aircraft don't like.

...especially TINY aircraft burdened with a payload of Hellfire missiles.

I was more refering to shielding on wires and cables, inside the aircraft, you know those overall braid and foil shield on wires, that has a fucntion of draining electrostatic interference scrap.....or noise, or anything from the OUTSIDE that could fuck up the instruments... :)

Well they seem to be dropping out of the sky a lot, so if you get the chance, take a look inside one. The cabling is already pretty hefty.

There have been a few X class solar flares of late. Possibly EMP interference bringing then down? I'd be keen to take a look inside. Of particular interest to me is the IMU & FC system. You already have two in your possession Admiral? Did those happen to have payloads? ;-)

I can bring them down manually.
FUN FACT: Avionics in military drones are open source. ;)

Oh my...now THAT is cool!

Bring them down or take full control? Either way those are some mad skills to have. Surely Uncle Sam goes looking for his hellfire party poppers when they go missing?

I have been building my own for a couple of years now. Only recently getting into open source stuff. Like Law Im playing catch up getting my brain around the coding side of things...I have lost a few early on due to buggy firmware but unlike the military my drones haven't killed anyone!

This model that crashed is worth 16,000, 000.... I say that would be a worthy venture, Scott.
