...and loud as hell sometimes. I'd keep my r/c planes close to the r/c airport.

Actually, mine fly at my dropyard. Lots of open space, hardly any traffic, hardpack to take off and land on, grass to, um, emergency land, on. I could fly at home, but my neighbors might not like the mosquito-like noise and there are a lot of trees, plus an interstate downwind. Not a great idea for r/c flight.

Take that, you mean old drone, you...

Hmm, if the Feds say I'm not supposed to use a shotgun, maybe a trained Eagle... hmm

This will only continue to get worse until we all realize that drones must be licensed just like other hardware that can also be harmful. Pilots and planes are licensed. Cars are licences. Drone can easily be licensed. Which includes a VIN number in the digital transmissions to and from each drone.

Unfortunately, emotion rather than logic dominates both the anti-drone and we have the right to do anything pro-drone advocates.

I bet that "wedge-tailed eagle" has a different tail now,
... and it won't try hunting that kind of bird again.

I have a 10x10 with 32 inch barrels. The goose rounds I have shot are BB or BBB. Is there any update on the case in Kentucky? I think the guy was justified

I haven't heard anything else about the drone killer. Probably be a while before that gets to court.

I did find this today. Drone video of a flash flood on Maui:

Dude has less than 20 seconds from the first noticeable increase in flow til he goes over. No one hurt.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-05-2015, 03:37 PM

That escalated quickly. I don't understand who was swinging from the chopper.

Gravdigr · 09-06-2015, 02:43 PM

~~Whutsthatnow?~~ Nevermind, I for got there was even a heliocopter in that vid.

Gravdigr · 09-08-2015, 12:33 PM

We all knew it was just a matter of time...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-08-2015, 12:40 PM

That's no drone, that's an aircraft, a plane, subject to all sorts of FAA restrictions. Even as an experimental, they'll be all over him. Ten minutes of battery life is just long enough to get in trouble.

The black socks with shorts tells me he is British. (Plus the union jack sticker and the license plate on the trailer.)

xoxoxoBruce · 09-08-2015, 01:06 PM

Oh, I thought the black socks and shorts just meant he is a dweeb.

Gravdigr · 09-08-2015, 01:13 PM

Or, he's not wearing shorts. They're actually boxers, and he just took off his trousers.

Because he doesn't like flying by the seat of his pants.
