A little story to tell, the other day at Park flying Phantom 2 approximately 150 up feet altitude. Same altitude flew over a group of people that were at the park hovered for a few seconds then flew off. (wrong or right it's what I did)
After a few flights this guy walks over recognizing him by his clothes from that group I flew over earlier. He starts off inquiring and asking questions but I could tell his agenda was going to end up a little hostile. When he came over I was flying in a completely open area approximately same altitude of 150 feet he ended up asking not to fly over his group I said no problem and had no intention of doing so again. He said it was not right spying on people and flying these drones around. And that if I didn't stop he was calling authorities I apologized for flying over his group but indicated I was not breaking any laws.
Anyway things elevated and I could tell he just wanted to debate and argue about it, I asked if he had ever fly RC before... His answer was no.
For some reason the idea popped in my head and I handed him the controller and explain what the two sticks did, he was very hesitant at first, but I insisted figured what could he do that I couldn't get out of 150 feet up. About a minute with him controlling the quad he was looking up and I could see this huge smile on his face. Also he was looking at first-person viewer and realize the detail is really not there for spying. After another few minutes I resumed control and landed.
His comments in short I understand more, this is fun, and warmed up considerably, and a apology for being a little aggressive I laughed and said no problem.
Just wanted to share story I found it interesting and has given me food for thought for trying to change the negative perceptions some have.
