I know what you're thinking "what?!? How dare him!" Bare with me....
I've been asking myself this question recently: If I didn't own a drone, would I be annoyed if I routinely saw one buzzing around my neighborhood, flying over my lake filming boats and seemingly "always being around" when it's a nice day or when I'm outside relaxing with my family on a nice evening?
After some thought and self reflection, I've come to the conclusion that yes, I would be annoyed. Drones are annoying. They are cool to fly but if I'm not flying it, I don't want one buzzing around me, over my house, or orbiting near me and my wife/kids on the boat.
I suspect if others were honest with themselves they would come to the same conclusion.
Here's the thing, I'm not a big drone film adventurer who packs up my P3 and heads out to capture scenic views of whatever. So, I tend to fly where it's convenient, near my house. I imagine a lot of other folks on here do too.
After the novelty of seeing "one of those drone thingys" buzzing around, I suspect a majority of people in my neighborhood and on my lake are probably sick and tired of seeing/hearing it by now. Nobody has ever said anything or complained but I am beginning to get a little self conscious about flying it more than a few times a month.
First off, this warning is for everyone, not just ray ronni, so let's keep it civil in here. No more belittling other members byOh, another thing that's annoying,: a phantom with ......... FLOATS on the landing gear! Why people why? As if the " greased rock" aerodynamics of the phantom wasn't enough, now let's make it even worse so that if it falls from the heavens, it will land right way up gently on the floats and all will be saved. Or let's attach the new craze "getter" or whatever it's called, so that when it sinks it will then float to the surface so you can spend more money trying to fix the "greased rock"
My Tourette is kicking in, better go now

The floats are for water landing\crashes, not for saving it should it crash on land. Also, I use a "Getter-Back" on mine in the event it of an unplanned water landing. Sure the quad will be for parts use but the memory card is what I am after. Parachutes work also and do not tangle in the props in the examples I have seen but they are butt ugly on your bird.
Remember, play nice!
Seriously? There was no offense or confusion on my part. I said it was for everyone... I thought I made that point clear. Humor on the Internet can be confused easily so I err on the caution. This is not an off topic post. Please keep on topic Ray. (See, that was clearly for you).So you are warning me for having a sense of humor?? Or warning me because you felt belittled, which was not the intended motive.
You obviously are not getting the fact that this is a humorous thread and not meant to be taken seriously, no need to defend the accessories. Everybody has the right to do what they like to their drone, I'm pretty certain we all understand that.

I don't find it humorous for GD and I use those same getter back's on all 3 of my birds by the way .
What I see is you calling out TJ who I don't see misusing anything .
I do see this coming though .

So you only find humor in things that are not part of your life
Hey if you for a moment think that I really care about your buddy tj feelings getting hurt because some body made fun of his toy then obviously you have the same mentality as he does.
And if you think this is a train wreck, you obviously put too much emphasis on this forum.
You guys need to go and find some humor in your lives.
I have never backed down to any form of authority that wants to misuse it's powers and sure as hell not going to do that to this one here.
So I'm pretty sure this will be the last post of mine here in this forum of cry babies, moaners, short sighted, obtuse little boys.
Obviously there are many good people here but they don't need me to call out their names.
I pay enough taxes so I due fly in my neighborhood most all of the people like it except for one lady that said not to fly over her house but wont tell me where its at so who cares
