Hey Lori,I am looking at buying the exact same drone that's in your first post,so how does it perform,and is it worth purchasing?Thanks

6. Conclusions
6.1 Unlike birdstrikes, the aviation industry is only beginning to understand the risks of
drone collisions. This study has resulted in an increase in knowledge in this area.
6.2 It is clear from the results that helicopter windscreens could be critically damaged by
collisions with a drone in several realistic scenarios. It has also been shown that
helicopter tail rotors can also be severely damaged.
6.3 Whilst more resilient than helicopters, the modelling and testing in this study has
shown that airliner windscreens could be critically damaged by mid-air collisions with
4 kilogram class quadcopter components, and 3.5 kilogram class fixed-wing drones
with exposed metallic components at high, but realistic speeds. These impact speeds
would usually be encountered when the aircraft is at higher altitudes, 10,000 feet or
above, but aircraft do sometimes operate at these speeds at lower altitudes.
6.4 The testing has also shown that the construction of a drone can make a significant
difference in the impact of a collision. Where the toughest and densest drone
components were covered with a plastic casing, or did not hit the windscreen first,
the impact of the collisions was lessened.
6.5 With regard to the comparison with the severity of a birdstrike, it was realised that
drones can cause significantly more damage than a bird of equivalent mass at the
same speed. This seems to be due to the hard metallic components present in
drones and means that birdstrike certification cannot necessarily be used as a
prediction of complete protection from drones.

Mid-Air Collision Study
Sounds rather energy-inefficient - it would take massive pulses to accelerate and decelerate the blades fast enough to meaningfully change speed within one side of the rotation.Some interesting concept here:
I'm looking to get the Mavic pro.

Is it worth the price tag? we have a hundred acre property with forest, fields and a stream.
