    Why didn't he just reach in and snatch that right back out instead of trying to kick it? It principle it actually did work, it just needed a better pilot!

    No, it immediately lost lift when the propellers lost any structural integrity as soon as it was even a little warmed up...it was a glob of lost plastic well before he tried to kick it.

    Not to mention heated (less dense) low humidity air causing reduced lift potential...

    Except for the fact that it was blowing the warm / hot air down while blowing the higher, cool air at the fire. Had he not allowed the drone to drop so far, it would definitely have worked.

    The bloke is an idiot and deserves to lose his drone.
