So, I don't know if I'm asking for advice or consolation or anything at all, but I just feel the need to share. I was at a wedding recently. I was asked to bring my 'copter and get some video and still shots. During the ceremony itself, I was also playing music, so for that section, I wouldn't be able to fly.
Another guest offered to do it for me. Hesitant to hand over one of my more expensive toys to a total stranger, I humored him a bit by asking him how much experience he had... what kind of quadcopter he owned, etc. None, and none. As politely as I know how, I said it probably wouldn't be a good idea to turn him loose with 2 minutes of instruction and with me nowhere near. (regardless of his answers, I never had any intentions of letting him fly it, by the way)
He started to get irate about it... How hard can it be, etc? I remained polite and explained that it takes practice and it's expensive and on and on. He eventually stomped off, but not before letting me know I'm an... uhhhh, shall we say ...the final portal in the digestive process.
Really?!?? If he had a Porsche, would I have the right to get mad at him for not letting me take it for a spin? In all fairness, he may have been celebrating a bit; but that's all the more reason not to let him fly the thing.
Like I said... just sharing. I'd like to hear your feelings, but I don't need any advice. My mind isn't going to change. I wonder if he told the parents of the bride... the reason we were there in the first place... I kinda hope he did.
