A drone went missing last Friday in Washington D.C. , and it has not been seen since .
Its proprietor , a oneAdam Eidinger , toldSalonthat he uses the equipment to take ethereal videos of Washington , D.C.
Last Friday , Eidinger informed me that he want to take a short video of a fete in Adams Morgan , and was flying his quadcopter from a rooftop on 18th Street NW . A Brobdingnagian gust of wind be adrift it too far south and Eidinger rapidly fall back orientation . The copter was almost 5,000 infantry aside from him , and he could n’t assure which way was forward and which manner was half-witted . When his remote control mislay contact with the drone , says Eidinger , the copter is programme to slowly descend on its own - a “ secure landing place mode , ” which preclude it from simply falling out of the sky and crashing . So it ’s potential that the quadcopter is sit on a rooftop somewhere in the field - mayhap even on your rooftop ( have you checked ? ) . Eidinger does n’t think it has shine in a public place , because he says he canvassed the whole domain and had no fate .
Not a large marauder , Eidinger ’s quadcopter is 2 ft x 2 ft and made in China . Eidinger , who customized the drone himself , estimates its Charles Frederick Worth at about $ 700 .
Anyone with any selective information as to the drone ’s whereabouts shouldcontact Eidinger directly.[Salon ]
