Up, Up and Away!: Tilted Kilt, Milford 1st To Deliver Wings By Drone


Sorry, no buff guy in a cool red cape. But one better. Beautiful women in red kilts. And some seriously awesome wings. How’s that for a lead in….

Although the delivery actually happened on June 17th, the whole idea started long before then.  A while back, a certain Internet Mega business that shall remain nameless (Starts with an “A” and ends with a “zon”) said that they were considering deliveries by drone. And, we are still waiting for that one. But Sara Vause, General Manager of The Tilted Kilt in Milford wasn’t about to wait for someone else to do it. Now enter Mr. Outrageous Marketing himself. Kyle Reyes of The Silent Partner Marketing, Manchester, and Joe Papa of MultiRotor Pilot Magazine. Their task was to pull this delivery off.

So, here is that task. Take a TWO POUND order of wings, and Go-Pro camera, and attach it to a quad-copter. Sounds easy right? Wrong. First off, the load has to have the weight properly distributed, and secured. Throw in wind, possible shifting of weight and distance. Not so easy after all.
