I dont mean to offend, but Im tired of listening to thew anti drone s*%! at work. And whats sad is watching drone fliers here promote anti drone because of fear of 1 drone owner ruining it for all the rest.
#1- Can you substantiate this?
Let me use your quad and I can take it to work tomorrow, and test it and see who's right
Yes I personally watched and tested this , as a lifelong pilot who flies, and did R&D on Gulfstream G550s and the 650. Do i have a video, No sorry.
but once again, let me use your quad, and Ill video it going into the intake for you.
Not frozen, Even better yet. Typically, More damage can be done with a rock hard solid frozen carcass than a live bird.
#3- Acknowledge a problem exists then?
With that being said, why do you believe the original article without proof or video, yet want me to show proof of our testing we have done? If you dont believe me, why believe the article?
Yeah, if only Captain Sully would have hit frozen turkeys instead of raw geese - he'd never had to land in the Hudson.
you seem to like to take what someone says out of context to try to prove your point.
You did see what else I wrote????
3. If any are to worry, it would be the small planes.
Never did I say that a plane could not go down due to a drone.
PS is that not the same video you post every time drone v/s plane is discussed?
And as a pilot, do you not think I have considered it happening to me? You sound just like the anti drone pilots I listen to at work.
Yes, the risks of a UAV strike a bit overblown, but they are real at some level. Fortunately, there will never be as many Phantoms as geese (despite DJI's wet dream about it).
This is pretty true ^
My point exactly. Not that it isnt possible, but more like overblown to make news.
Theres 3 groups: pilots, pilots who fly UAVs, and UAV operators who are not pilots. Which one of the 3 do you think are making these ??
As I sit in rooms full of fellow pilots who don't like the fact that I defend drones. They would rather them just go away. Its sad,but there is a negative attitude and many pilots who dont know the fun of a drone, and will do anything to get rid of them.
Just remember, not everyone on the other end of this forum is a 14 yr old 1st time inexperienced drone owner.
Sorry, Rant over
