Hi everyone,
I was phoned by a local newspaper reporter today and asked if I'd mind my Youtube footage being used in an article about the build of a new school which I flew over. He said he'd been referred by another local guy who does a lot of FPV filming locally and then asked if I'd like to say a few words about quadcopters (any issues I'd had from bystanders etc). I told him I only fly early in the morning when there's no one around and I mostly fly out in the hills so there have been no problems.
Unfortunately, only now, I've got the feeling that this reporter was possibly (like most reporters) trying to dig up something he could sensationalise in a 'Quads are EVIL' type article and wasn't actually interested in the school construction at all. I've taken down the video he was initially enquiring about just in case. Anyone else in the UK had experience with local rags trying to drum up quad hatred for the sake of some sales, or am I being paranoid and should I enjoy my potential boost of Youtube views and local 'fame?'
Thanks for any opinions.
