ACLV said:How many of you actually fly your aircraft at 2500 ft above the ground?
There is no real description just the word DRONE.
I can hardly see my Phantom when I get 200 feet up. (ok so I am getting old and blind)
It was probabley a bird.
Ksc said:you can get the phantom to 2500 feet. You can a car up to 130MPH. Doesn't mean you should.

Ksc said:A lot of people on here do things that they think are ok or think "the FAA rule is dumb". And yes there are a lot of dumb rules in the world but many of the rules help our world to maintain a balance and a flow. When a phantom flies across an airport and grounds air traffic and throws off a whole travel schedule, thats not right nor cool.
