Nah. My last one did. (Phantom) It's cool if you like the sound of props spinning, "buzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"

What model drone are you using and are they hard to learn how to fly?

It's made by, "DJI" and this model is called an, "Inspire 1".
Here's a link to it.
http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1It is relatively easy to operate but if you've been flying RC gear for a while, it makes it a lot easier.

If you're starting out I'd recommend their first model, "Phantom".

Cheers mate. Any kind of feedback is appreciated, good or bad. I watch it now and see where it could of been improved. Like some dash cam footage, land based footage and truck audio thrown in the mix, but for a first time drone shoot I'm fairly happy.
I bore easy when I watch coverage of this type of event. It's always a challenge to keep my eyes glued to the screen on the final edit or keep you people interested. If you get bored watching, I call that a fail.
