    Drones are repeating WW1 aircraft development. I wonder if a Spad would
    be right for hunting them. Or maybe a Waco. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettering_Bug


    As for the 'Spad', I doubt it comes even close to having
    a chance. Not nearly maneuverable enough.

    Actually I tend to think firing bullets at it will not
    be effective. To hard to get a hit on something that
    small and moving quickly. Need very small proximity fuses
    on small size pellet shotgun shell type projectiles.

    Probably more need electronic zappers to disrupt the signal.
