Just found this. Drone looking over Carlyle lake with a 'fish eye' lens.

seems odd that it looks liked it actually scares a sail boat away, but I doubt that's the case. But the lake is way larger than the video makes it look..

The drone may have been harassing the sailboat a bit but not chasing. These pictures make me want to get a drone and a Hero camera. Bet I could launch it off my Legend boat for aerial recon.

yeah, it was probably coincidence that the drone flew close to the sailboat and the boat took off. I take it that with a drone you'd need a really calm day though. And I noticed that the pilot of the drone didn't get too far down the lake to be out of signal.

That depends on the 'copter and the skill of the pilot. Many of the multirotors have
a gyro, like this: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCNFP

Helps keep them flying true when the wind is trying to blow them around.
