    Well, it is not a "toy" in the sense where it's built for children, no. This machine is designed for adults. It's a sophisticated unit that requires a good amount of practice time before you could fly it well, especially in conjunction with the learning of its photographing/video-capturing capability.

    Yes, you control this machine via a remote controller. But that doesn't mean it's a toy. Many non-toy things are controlled by a remote controller. For instance, an un-manned drone could be used in archeology research where it's impossible for a person to physically enter a site. Marine biologists also use RC drones to capture images and/or videos of what goes on deep down at the bottom of the ocean.

    What your boyfriend has is capable of doing short-term sky-to-land surveillance with a camera attached to it. Meliai mentioned the government using something like this. One thing I know is that governments use un-manned drones in military situations. A good example of that is an airplane shaped drone known as "Global Hawk" used by the US military.

    All that said, I'm sure your boyfriend purchased one simply to enjoy flying it. Or maybe he even wants to take some cool pictures from the sky without him actually being up there. In any case, chances are it's no different than any other hobby. You might not be able to relate to this, but many people find operating RC units to be a lot of fun. Myself included. I don't have any at the moment because I don't have enough money to get something a little more sophisticated than a toy RC vehicle. I did see a toy chopper at a drug store for like $30 a while ago and I seriously contemplated on getting one, though.. LOL. xD

    But what if he actually is a spy... o_O

    we talking about a "hang"?

    they CAN cost about 8,000, but you could definitely find one for about half that if you got a decent deal. They are extremely rare, only 2 people (a couple in Switzerland) make them, so they have about 1 million people who want one, but can only produce so many. The only way to get one frm them is to write them a personal letter explaining why you need one.

    or you can go on ebay and get one for about 8 grand.

    its totally worth it btw.

    That hang thing is ten million shades of awesome.
    I'd take that over the drone and the woman.

    yeah, they are seriously amazing. I have been absolutely obsessed with handpans ever since I first heard one a year or two ago. Only thing is, I am about 4 years too late to the party. I might never get one :(

    Sorry to jack the thread, but many people refer to them as "UFO's" and they are super expensive. And I can understand how someone would totally neglect their girlfriend if they had one LOL

    Both the drone and the handpan thing are way cooler than a girlfriend. Especially a girlfriend who is uninterested and doesn't want to play, too. Listen, in a relationship, it's all about compromise. If you can't get interested in his hobby or learn to live with it, it's time to move on. My bf's thing is World of Warcraft. Many many days have been spent arguing over it. Eventually we just came to a compromise. He has his specific 3 days that all his buddies get together and spend aaaaaalllll evening and all night doing their thing, and the rest of the week is up for grabs. I tried to get into the game, but just couldn't get interested, so I just settled for the fact that this is something he likes to do and I backed off. If you don't have some separate interests, you're going to drive each other batty.

    I agree 100% with what Kinky Ramona said.

    My boyfriend is crazy into videogames, and I'm not. I also don't have the skills to play his super advanced war games. It sounds similar to your situation. It got really bad when I had no job, and I had to watch him play that shit hour after hour. Things got WAYYY better when I started working again. He plays his games while I'm working, and when I'm done, we sit down together and play some Civilization or something. :) Like Ramona said, it's totally about compromise.

    You could totally get one of those gyroscopic helicopter things. They're fairly cheap, so you can crash a few while learning. Then you guys can race and see who can do better maneuvers!

    Boys who play with electric technologicals instead of with women are gay and not men.
    Yes games are fun , but so is human interaction and thats real. games over sex i just dont get it , why not have both , its about not being OBSESSED with any particular thing.
    Moderation is key :D have fun.

    And girls who decline sex on account of a 'headache' are lesbians not women.
