Your friend seems to be headdesking the water, as if to say "I put on my drysuit for *that*!?". But still, you've got your quad back, so now you need to thank him by hovering round his house at night, taking videos through the windows. JUST LIKE THE FEDS.
I would consider that but I think you missed the part about him being an ex Navy Seal? He currently travels out of country to retrieve abducted children. I think he has a particular set of skills and I'd rather he use them on someone else!

It's definitely going to have video, wireless comms (for video and control), gps, and proximity sensors. But I think the goal is to also have it run with an autopilot.
I'd quite like to mount some kind of nerf type thing on it, too.
