Man I feel for the OP as stated before, plus I'm glad I didn't post off topic! Lol but jeez, although yeah I too think the guy that shot at the drone is a jerk, there are a lot of them, but the vehemently opposed direct their hatred with such zeal, man bring it down a notch, or two.
The idiot shooter doesn't deserve to be stoned or hanged, heck, I'd say he's in enough trouble as it is without adding any more. I do think however the OP should have the shooter buy him the bare bones bird without battery and RC (if battery wasn't hurt) brand new off DJIs website, and because he's being "let off" with this, maybe an upgrade to a P3P bare bones (if your battery fits, been so long I don't remember what the OP was flying) and with that, the OP should still fix the guy that came back because that bird is a hero!
After drone is replaced, and if indeed the sheriff charges him with shooting a firearm in residential area, that and an apology should make the OP whole again, without felonies and ruining a dudes life because he's a low educated moderate income doehead who obviously screwed up. I'd hate to have that firing a weapon in res. area, I like my License to carry. That and there's prolly a couple more things the sheriff can do as far as tickets, and depending he may throw the book at the dude.
As a drone guy I'd like to see one, the attitude of this guy and others like him, to be more respectful of those of us who aren't young idiots looking into ppl's private lives. (Personally I find ppl boring, who wants to look into Windows to see someone living thier life!? Jees how boring!) those of us who fly and take panoramic shots or into the whole scene of things. And two is the OP gets made whole. In this way it makes the whole place a better place to live, and play, less ppl shooting, less ppl annoying others with their hobby, and generally just more respect.
