Man delivers chocolate from Sai Kung to Repulse Bay in 14 minutes… by drone!

Everyone knows the desperation of an intense chocolate craving when there is no cocoa goodness in sight…

But who wants to pop into one of Hong Kong’s thousand 7-Elevens when you can have a drone deliver a bar from 10 kilometres away? 

A drone enthusiast has done exactly that, flying a chocolate bar from Tseung Kwan O to Repulse Bay.

A trip that normally takes at least half an hour by car was cut down to less than 14 minutes by the speedy flying machine.

This is not a trip to be accomplished by just anyone with a drone, however: it took careful planning, as judged by the handy guide written by the maker of the video.

For example, “Helicopters and private planes often fly low – you and your spotter must have a clear view of the airspace,” he writes.

We’re not sure some candy is worth causing an aviation accident, but we guess it did make a pretty cool video.
