After DJI introduced the new no-flyzone policy many Phantom pilots have become frustrated/angry (I'm personally frustrated).
My problem with no-flyzone is that the radius of the no-flyzone does not match the restricted airspace per country/airfield. So DJI restricts flights in areas where its not actually restricted, because they have general no-flyzone classes A and B with a general radius.
Flying in the restricted airspace of an airport is stupid. The other thing that is at least as stupid as flying near airports are the Phantom pilots who do their non fpv or fpv height "test" max altitude flights. I've seen people boasting how they have flown their Phantom above 500 meters and up to 1000+ meters. Ofcourse loosing your Phantom might be the end result of this sort of flying, but people still do it.
It takes only one idiot to crash an helicopter or a an plane to cause something that none of us have seen yet. I know that theres atleast one case where helicopter and drone almost crashed.
"I havent seen any airplanes here, so it must be safe... I also have this FPV so I can dodge with my Phantom..."
