I wanted to claim the phantom in saint Louie ohhh yeah that's mine I was flying a bit to high to close to the bldg and could not tell how close I was because I was a bit inexperienced because I bought the phantom on
www.woot.com for $300.00 a few days ago
No harm no foul newbie!
It's great to see you all debating weather or not the confederates are gonna come take your phantom toys away because of some idiot doing something stupid. Society has delt with the fringe for decades and will continue to do so. There are always gonna be some that push the line that make the others look bad but that's called living in a society where people are allowed to be stupid, uneducated, racist, and just plain old dumb. Yes here in the United States we allow people to be dumb shites and it's great because it allows the ones who tow the line and follow the rules to isolate themselves from the I-D-10-t's
I am a responsible hobbyist, pilot, flyer, goober, nerd what ever you wanna call me but I'm responsible and the more I fly the more experienced and the more responsible I get and I give the newbies the benefit of doubt as I did stupid shite when I first started flying as well but I learned and continue to do so and I'm sure most of those stupid shites will as well and the ones that don't don't will become more and more isolated
And yes one day we will likely have to register or get licensed or take some ridicules online safety course but I welcome any and all of it as it is one simple measure to take a step towards enhancing public safety and a register of us goobers that fly these things just in case one of us decides to fly one into a passenger jet engine
But in closing I don't fear "Obama" showing up at my door and taking my phantom because some guy in Kansas crashed a phantom into a circle k while boning his cousin at the local drive in theatre.
