I scrapped the idea for now as I have been busy with working outa town and haven't had any time..

There won't be any drone laws that restrict law enforcement from using drones. The Patriot act allows them to use any means necessary to gather approved surveillance. That includes drones...

They have a very specific market in mind.. And probably don't intend on selling to the general consumer. The price tag also represents the commercial support you would get from Lockheed.

You can also print charts off of www.skyvector.com and its current and free.

Sounds like it might be our buddy who posted in a thread a few weeks back about how he thought it was cool to fly his drone at 3500 feet in the new York area.

No need to say sorry.

You took my post the wrong way. I'm in agreement that "Stuff" damages engines.

All the videos are pointless. Sand, bird.. No problem. Metal ingestion causes a disabled engine.

an aircraft turbine spins at tens of thousands rpm.. The small hardened metal phantom motors and Lopo battery will do 10 times the damage that a 20 pound goose will do. (unless the goose is carrying change) As soon as the hardened metal bits get to the turbine core (2nd stage compressor) it's...

Ahaha... Your next post will be either.. 1. Flyaway 2. Crash blaming it on DJI 3. How it's BS that the officer took your brand new drone 4. A bricked phantom And the best thing about it is, your intent is documented in a public forum with your IP logged. Brilliant!

Exactly.. And to enjoy it without flying robots buzzing around scaring the animals and bugging the guests. Nobody is stopping you from commenting.. It's not an arbitrary ban.. That's my point of my last post.. It's a ban on all aircraft that's been around a lot longer than drones have...

I own one.. and it flies back at RTH altitude or highest altitude for the flight.. Whichever is highest.

Are you kidding me? If real aircraft can't fly there why do you think you should be allowed to.. The same restrictions that apply to you apply for ALL aircraft.. See the following link to a section on the San Francisco Sectional...

I don't think education will help..

What if I unsubscribe to this thread, so that I'm not constantly reminded that not everyone is the sharpest tool in the shed.
