Ugh.  That might be a very noisy, uncontrollable Tink.

I was playing with a cheapie (under $100) drone/quad a few weeks ago
in the theatre.... very noisy.... VERY difficult to keep controlled...
there was no real ability (at that price range) to have it hover or
hold its position.... flying it was really a defensive maneuver.  Of
course, the higher up in price one goes, the better the control would
be, but that also means getting up there in size.  And noise.

The videos (right before crashing or getting hung up somewhere) were
really cool, though....
