    Man convicted in drone crash that injures woman...

    I didn't recognize you without the hat ;-) I feel like we're teetering on the edge of that slippery slope now...macho attitudes, feelings of entitlement and the inexperience of a massive group of new flyers will hasten the tip-over the edge... If we don't want a wave of new restrictions I...
