Ok somebody tell me my eyes are failing.

In the latest Panorama mag from PCA there is an ad for the Macan driving down a beach. There's a dude on a kite board just off shore and what looks like a drone towing him rather than a kite. Is that even possible? Are they really that powerful or is that just a funky looking kite?

Not blind just don't pay enough attention to all this "new" technology...i.e. OLD!

There's a slightly more recent YouTube video of a guy BASE jumping from a drone. I guess it's not really BASE jumping if he doesn't jump off the tower, but I digress...



Here's a screenshot, since the media plugin is still sh*t:

Why does it always seem to be central/northern Europeans doing this type of drone stuff?
