    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    Couldn't agree more. If it doesn't come together in that way I fear that mislaid rules will be born out of necessity and make it a hairy area to navigate. I thought DJI had a new system coming out soon for just that reason... maybe I'm mistaken. The longer this state remains the higher chance...

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    A tower, the tower. It doesn't matter as long as there is something to call to log the flight. Yeah the staff problem is obvious there I agree but maybe that is what is needed. I simply do not trust people in general to follow any rule when the device can be easily obtained/flown by an...

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    Flying low is necessary to complete a task of some sort. It is just as easy to notify the tower that an aircraft will be in a danger zone for a specific period of time so drone flights can be limited or electronically banned... my suggestion is simply to create a guarantee that controls air...

    400' FAA altitude limit a law or a suggestion?

    It's stupid that if you initiate emergency procedures that low you're dead anyway. And I respectfully said, IMO regardless of how strongly you feel. Exactly my point though. They're flying hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stay up away from where people can risk your life and money. Why...

    False accusations of voyeurism, from a cop caught shinning my drone with laser !

    Man people trust too much. Halifax in Canada just had an audit of the evidence lockers, drugs 90% missing and sized money 60% missing. Gimmie a break I could see one of them idiots thinking they're beyond the law sure. Had an off duty officer try to sexually assault my wife last year after...

    See I don't think it's as common as you think. A lot of people won't open their mouths because they don't want to rock whatever boat that is.

    How Does Weather Affect Your Drone's Performance?

    Yeah well you can look at the sky for most predictions except is it going to be windy in 4 hours when u plan to go to a park :P For that a wind forecast is great.

    Was I trolling?

    I fly in my neighborhood lots. It's a family sub division. I've had probably 3 wives tell me their husbands are now drone shopping along with a 70 year old man on the next street that stopped me walking one day and actually knew prices and info so I knew he was serious about buying. I'd say...

    Oh I've had 95% by volume great interaction. It's a very small percentage of encounter. Can't please everyone I guess.

    FAA Closed Airspace at train derailment.

    Anybody that wants to be an ambulance chaser with a drone is a jerk IMO. They already have a name and I expect respect and privacy if I'm ever in an accident. Nobody wants their busted *** (or that of friend/family) on the news or some gore website. Show a little **** respect. And that's...

    How Does Weather Affect Your Drone's Performance?

    I have an Android app called 'uav forecast' that seems to work really well. I only use it for wind though.

    False accusations of voyeurism, from a cop caught shinning my drone with laser !

    I'm not sure if you're aware but resisting arrest is not a felony if the arresting officer falsely arrests you. (50 people googling that right now trying to prove it wrong lol) Say that once to the judge and the charge will be gone. I promise. When there is no reasonable grounds to arrest...

    Was I trolling?

    Honestly I'm usually a pretty nice guy I've even let some shiny eyed kid fly it once. I always try to be respectful and show people if they want to see but am getting really annoyed by some of the negative response. I had 2 people come up to me angrily in June alone. One young guy that...

    Was I trolling?

    And failing diplomatic action, if the police show up and threaten you with disturbing the peace or some other bogus charge simply inform the officer that it is completely legal for you to fly your toy and that you are willing to provide flight logs and video to the courts to prove that you were...
