How Do I Know How Much My Items Will Cost To Ship

Single Product Shipping Cost

If all you want to buy is one product we show you the price to ship just that product on every product and category page. Just click the link or button that says “Calculate Shipping” and it will show you the cheapest shipping price for that one product. Once you have more than one product in your Cart your shipping cost will be combined into one shipment. In other words, if you buy 2 or more products the shipping price is not always twice as much, it is usually only a little more. See “Combined Shipment Cost” below.

Combined Shipment Cost

We always try to get you the cheapest shipping rates possible. Many times adding additional items to your cart does not increase the shipping cost. This way if you add accessories to your main product the accessories are basically free to ship in the same package. An easy way to find out how much different items will cost to ship to you is to first place the item or items into your shopping cart. Then, you will be able to press “Calculate Shipping” button on the shopping cart page to see how much the entire shipment will cost. On some products you can choose between up to 3 different shipping methods. You can also click on the “Estimated Delivery Time” link below those prices to see how long it will take with the different shipping options.

I Know What You Did Last Summer; The new Draganfly Tango UAV personal spy RC plane puts anyone under surveillance

ForbesLife June 2006“In various shapes and sizes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) have been around for more than a century. During the Civil War, both sides sent hot air balloons rigged with explosives (set to drop by timer) floating over each other’s lines. A few decades later, U.S. soldiers photographed Spanish defenses with camera lashed to box kites. In the 1930’s, the British RAF and Navy used radio-controlled biplanes as targets for antiaircraft gunners. Today, the top dog among unmanned crafts in the U.S. Military’s MQ-1 Predator, a key player in the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Controlled by a crew of three, the Predator completes a variety of missions that are either too dangerous or too dull for human pilots. Its cameras shoot video day or night, through smoke and through clouds. It can even pack a pair of remotely launchable Hellfire missiles.

Tango RC AircraftEven if you can afford the Predator’s $40-million price tag, you still can’t have one - the Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to a stealth-bombing spy plane. The Draganfly Tango, however, falls just within the bounds of legality. And it can do most of what the Predator can -at least in miniature (minus the Hellfire missiles). Its wingspan is 60 inches and its payload three and a half pounds, enough to carry a 10-megapixel Canon digital camera for high-resolution stills and video. A powerful 2.4 gigahertz transmitter in the plane’s belly beams the imagery back to the operator “live” from up to 1500 feet away, where it can be viewed on a media player or through a pair of futuristic spectacles called “Eye Cameras” with a screen embedded in the right-hand lens. And like the Predator, the Tango can cruise at low speeds without stalling, ensuring a good, long look at the situation on the ground. As for range, one can fly the Tango about as far as one can see it, for up to fiver hours of reconnaissance. A souped-up, GPS-equipped version, capable of long-range preprogrammed flights, it is also available, but only to government and law-enforcement agencies.

Aerial PhotoAerial PhotoTango UAVThe question remains, of course, why anyone would need such a craft. To count cattle? To survey real estate? To snoop on the neighbors? But that’s a private matter best kept between a man and his spy plane.” - Thomas Jackson - ForbesLife

CARGO Magazine’s Sexy, Cool Spy Stuff Review of the Draganflyer SAVS Aerial Video RC Helicopter

CARGO Mag Cover - May 2006CARGO Magazine May 2006
HELO OPERATOR
Draganflyer SAVS Remote-Control Helicopter - RCTOYS.COM

“The sky’s the limit with this four-rotor mini chopper, which has a built-in video camera that beams footage back to the ground. Plug the included receiver into any camcorder, VCR or portable media player to record the shenanigans. It can fly an impressive 1,700 feet away and up to 1,500 feet in the air – higher than almost any building in the world. And since it’s battery-powered, it’s whisper-quiet. To make flying foolproof, the 1.09-pound helo has seven electronic sensors that make it instantly stabilize if you pop the remote controls to the neutral position. In case you fly out of range, or the 20-minute battery craps out mid-flight, the Flyer gently grounds itself.”

HELO Operator CARGO Magazine

The Draganflyer SAVS RC Helicopter is available to purchase online at www.rctoys.com.
