Why in the hell does everything here...almost...have to turn into an argument. Are you not getting laid enough? It's like watching a bunch of children.

GoodnNuff said:LOL. Before starting this thread I knew Steve Mann would be on here! I knew he would be berating the OP for showing this video, and telling the rest of us we are over reacting! Steve, that is all I see you do on here lately is defend stupidity.

sdtrojan said:I just don't see all the hub bub about flying FPV outside of LOS. It's a garbage argument to me.
You opinions may vary.
The FOV on a wide-angle setting on a GoPro is probably as good as what I can see as a human. I don't see how it's any more dangerous than any other aircraft in the same airspace. I have yet to develop the ability to see behind me, but at least with a quad I can rotate to check out the area. To me, being out of LOS (ie cannot see my tiny 2.5lb drone) does not mean I don't still have situational awareness of the airspace I am operating in. That's a bad arguementClipper707 said:sdtrojan said:I just don't see all the hub bub about flying FPV outside of LOS. It's a garbage argument to me.

It's hard to imagine an operator having the same level of situational awareness when he's flying beyond LOS, FPV or not.

Accurate information makes a better point.
Bell thinks this:
Std internal gross wt 5,000 lbs 2,268 kg

I could be wrong, but not as wrong as you.
Okay, I would rather a 5,000 lb helo crash on me than a 10,000 lb'r. Either way, my newly renovated protected home will be just fine.
IflyinWY said:So, has anyone come up with anything this drone pilot did wrong?
I already know he flew over houses, cars, streets, probably dogs, cats, OMG... people (maybe).
What did he do wrong?
He did a great job of avoiding EVERYTHING, including VRS.

Well I finally agree with ya on something SilentAV8R !SilentAV8R said:http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/faa-investigating-drone-flying-near-news-helicopte/nkYk7/
Not flying a Phantom at least. Serious lack of judgement and really poor flying skills.
Edited: Seems I was wrong, he was doing nothing wrong and I am the one in the wrong for sharing his exploits. My bad.
