    New drone laws

    Regardless, it's not enforceable. Maybe voluntary if people want to pay the five bucks.

    Drones is a cool thing, but when you married with kids...drone stuff die quickly and painfully...

    My wife says the same thing to me but she tolerates it. She doesn't know that I want to add the spark to my collection.

    Do we stop another pilot

    You handled the situation correctly but I wouldn't go further from preventing him from flying. I would notify the authorities only if I felt he was flying in a way that would endanger those at the park.

    My thoughts on breaking the rules.

    For those that think 400 ft limit is a rule/law, please go back and read section 336 (public law 112-95). There is nothing in the books that says 400 ft is the limit. Common sense is the rule.

    Trying to decide......

    So I have a Phantom 3 Pro and now a Mavic Pro. I have been considering replacing the P3P with the P4P but not sure if that is overkill since I already have the Mavic. I know there are differences between the two. Would you still buy the P4P although you already own the Mavic?
