Just to be clear, I do appreciate the civil tone. @eroo & @jwarren. Is not that I don't enjoy the hobby, I do. I am passionate about the hobbies I invest in. I am even more passionate when I'm within the rules, but being treated like I'm not. I'm not "trolling" or looking for trouble. I...

I really purchased this drone for the pictures. If all the places I want to shoot become no fly zones simply because people are scared of "what could happen"... When nothing at all happens in the first place... Then this hobby won't be for me very long. Makes you wonder if folks who are...

Yep, spread out over a half mile of a city road... Not like they're all standing on top of each other.

Maybe this is a much more high strung group of hobbyist's than I expected! :roll:

Plenty of other failure that could occur that might prevent you from being able to control your car. You've got your opinions and I have mine. Interestingly enough, I wasn't breaking any laws. Nor do I think I should have been, even once these things are "regulated." Clearly, that's my...

Well thank you for setting the responsibility bar so high for all the rest of us.

So when you drive to these parks to fly your drone, in your car (with several non-redundant critical systems), how do you possibly account for all the possibilities in such close proximity to other people? It too can experience failures leaving it uncontrollable... And far far more dangerous...

So you have never flown over people at all before?

I understand it. Clearly I'm in the wrong here. I'll just never fly near people again... Part of the appeal of a drone vs an "old school RC" is the camera. If you're never flying near people, you stand zero chance of capturing the awesome reactions people have to these things. I've met very...

Sad that some fellow hobbyists immediately resort to attacks assuming I was using poor judgment...

I guess even hobbyists automatically assume the worst was what was going on here. I had zero complaints against me from patrons. Security just asked me to take it down, which I did. At altitude, it's not like you're seeing pictures of people, you're seeing ants on the ground and the larger...

@ Loc#2, I actually dealth with 3 different security guards. The first one was totally cool and had no issues once he asked me a few simple questions and he figured I wasn't a complete fool. Second guy completely lost his sh** at me in less than 3 min, resulting in him walking away telling me...

Each of the last two times I've flown the p2v+ at a location other than my own home I've been approached by either the police or local authorities and asked to land my "aircraft" and not fly it. Loc#1 - Art fair in Wisconsin - Only got about 7 min of flight time, and the police chief asked me...
