Has anyone else named their drone?

I call my drone “Nipper” cos hes small and bitey.
He bit me once on an indoor test flight. (Did not did not did NOT fly it into myself…
just failed to evade in a timely manner :p) — it’s tough to steer AND run away…

Has anyone else named their drone? Or am I mad?

Airdata asks you for the name of your drone. So presumably commercial users name their drones Matrice 600.1, Matrice 600.2 or Inspire 2.1 so they can keep track of flights, performance and maintenance.

My Mavic Air was bought second hand and showed up as Tyson on my first flight log, my Inspire I have named Sparky. I haven’t got round to naming either of my DJI 550s or the Tarot X6.

My Tarot 680 is called Bane. Because it was the bane of my life during the build and setup till I got it right.

My Phantom 3 was called Dave, the MP Daveson (son of Dave), shortened to Dave.

Standard line in my house from the Mrs, ‘Are you going out with Dave again (you sad wanker)’

Slightly off topic, this is moored in Bridlington. The Mrs and kids don’t get it, I’m in fits every time I see it.

i call mine Rameses Niblick the 3rd, Kerplunk Kerplunk Whoops Where’s My Thribble. Or Gilbert for short.

I considered "Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F’tang-F’tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel. But then thought, no, that’s silly… :crazy_face:

So went for “Jethro Q. Walrustitty” instead… :wink:

My dog thinks it’s called fung thing, always saying that when I’m flying like
Where’s the f
ks it gone now? :rofl: :rofl:

Small and red by any chance?

These sound like names Lord Blackadder would use :rofl:

Hi @PingSpike. Mine were both blatantly ripped off from a Monty Python sketch called “Election Night Special”. They were the names of 2 Silly Party Candidates (would fit right in with the current bunch in the House of Commons at the moment if you ask me :rofl:).
