My biggest issue regarding the FAA is that I have yet to see any intelligent (of course it is the government so why expect anything more) rationale regarding how it's a hazard to use a quadcopter to achieve previously unreachable angles from a commercial standpoint. So, I can take a picture for myself or acquaintances and it's fine, yet if I sold that same picture it's illegal? How about the fact that as a tool to use in the commercial field, I may want to be more responsible with my equipment and care for the client, than the hobbyist who wants to see how high he can go before his Phantom plummets to the ground or how it holds up as it goes swimming in the hot springs. As others have mentioned, the US, is falling behind the rest of the world. I can guarantee, if the oil or big pharma companies were wanting to fly UAVs, there would have been laws on the books yesterday.
