A taste of what's inside

6 of the 100 jokes. The rest are in the book.

My mate swears he's "not really that into" drone flying.

He checks the wind speed, the Kp index and his satellite count before he takes the dog out.

Rule #1 of FPV: Never say "send it" unless you've already packed the spare props.

Actually, just never say it. The quad can hear you.

My nan overheard me saying I was hitting the bando this weekend with three lads and twelve packs.

She's lit a candle for me at church.

Why do you need new goggles? You bought some in March. "The new ones have eight milliseconds less latency." What could you possibly do with eight milliseconds?

"Miss the tree, for once."

FPV pilots buy props in packs of forty.

Not because it's cheaper. Because the park has forty trees.

My cousin asked for "a quick drone shot" at his own wedding.

Seven minutes later, the bride was still waving at the sky and the vicar had started on the next couple.

About this book

Know someone who shows up to scenic locations looking like they're running a NASA mission, complete with cargo pants, tactical vest, and enough flight cases to outfit a small army? This collection of 100 hilarious jokes perfectly captures the wonderfully obsessive world of drone pilots.

From the inevitable 'I'll just do one more battery' that turns into a four-hour flying marathon, to the sacred pre-flight rituals that take longer than the actual flight time, these jokes will have any drone enthusiast nodding in recognition. Covering everything from the panic of an unexpected RTH activation to the endless debates about the perfect ND filter for golden hour footage, this book celebrates all the quirks that make drone pilots uniquely entertaining.

Whether they're obsessively checking battery voltage levels, hoarding backup props like the apocalypse is coming, or spending more on a hard case than most people spend on their entire hobby, drone pilots everywhere will see themselves in these witty observations. Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa exchanges, or anyone who needs a good laugh about their latest 'essential' gimbal upgrade.

Ideal for drone pilots buying for themselves or anyone shopping for that friend who can quote wind speeds like a meteorologist and treats their FPV goggles like precious artifacts.

Who this book is for

This book is perfect for that mate of yours who checks three different weather apps before flying their drone in the garage, has seventeen different gimbal settings saved for 'cinematic shots' of the local park, and genuinely believes their DJI Mini makes them the next Steven Spielberg. You know the one - they wear aviator sunglasses indoors, carry laminated airspace maps in their cargo pants, and have more velcro patches on their kit bag than a military contractor. If you're shopping for someone who disappears down YouTube rabbit holes about prop efficiency at 2am, obsessively refreshes tracking numbers for drone parts they don't actually need, and takes 'test flights' every time they adjust a single camera setting, this collection of gentle mockery is spot on. It's the ideal gift for partners who've learned to nod politely when their loved one explains the difference between LOS and BVLOS for the hundredth time, or friends who want to lovingly take the piss out of someone's newfound 'aerial cinematography career'. And if you're a drone pilot yourself who can admit you've spent more time on Google Earth planning flights than actually flying, who panics and hits RTH the moment anything looks slightly wonky, and who secretly knows you fit at least three of these stereotypes perfectly, this book is absolutely for you. Sometimes the best medicine is laughing at your own obsession with wind speeds and perfect gimbal pitch rates.

Questions about this book

These jokes cover everything from the universal truth that everyone's first drone ends up in a tree (and everyone lies about how it happened) to the panic-inducing moment when you notice gimbal drift mid-flight. You'll find humour about RTH fails, the endless money pit of drone accessories, and the awkward explanations when your 'creative' flying ventures beyond visual line of sight.
Absolutely perfect for any drone enthusiast, whether they're still fishing their quad out of trees or proudly flashing their Part 107 licence. It's ideal for birthdays, Christmas, or as a consolation gift after someone's inevitable first crash. Anyone who's ever uttered 'I'm RTH-ing from the shops' will appreciate this collection.
Not at all - many jokes focus on universal experiences like technology failing at the worst possible moment or spending far too much money on gadgets. However, seasoned pilots will especially appreciate the insider references to gimbal drift panic, Part 107 superiority, and the creative interpretations of 'line of sight' regulations.
This isn't generic tech humour - it's written by someone who understands the specific pain of watching your expensive quad disappear into the distance when RTH decides to malfunction. The jokes tap into genuine community experiences, from the shame of tree rescues to the endless accessories addiction that every pilot knows all too well.
