A pilot friend introduced  Patrick years ago to the hobby of flying remote controlled miniature helicopters. He got hooked and now flies a high end German model. At the Allens Lane Art Center fields, he maneuvered his copter at high speed through twists and turns, upside downs, up to altitudes where it was just a noisy speck in the sky down to eye level hovering menacingly just yards away from him. He distinguishes himself from the drone hobbyists who he claims are often reckless. His skills have been honed through flight simulator training that actual pilots use and hours of practice.his  His advice for avoiding  having your head chopped off by the rotating blades? "Don't let it hit you." Watch video here.
