Nowhere in the advisory does the FAA advise folks to not fly "over civilization." I took your advice and read the circular again. I would suggest that you do the same. "civilization" does not equal "populated areas."
thongbong said:You think the FAA would put out those suggestions and neglect the most important.
Since you think that flying over populated areas shouldn't be done ("If you don't want a complete ban of RC aerial craft, best follow their "suggestions"), please explain your hypocrisy here:

No higher than 400 ft
No flying over any civilization.
Those are the only regs in the US.
No. Where do people get this stuff?

Never said you were wrong, I think you're right, but seriously, spanktimonious got offended somehow and started attacking poeople when I was just trying to answer his question. He asked, I answered. Somewhere along the lines he concluded I was a hypocrite because I was telling him what the FAA was saying or suggesting.

Time out everyone?? Group hug?
This is a place to educate, and be educated. Not a place to insult, or be insulted. We're Adults-how bout we start acting like it? Just a thought?

If you don't want an answer, next time don't ask it!!! No one said it was "law", everyone said suggestion... holy cow man, did you look up where I lived too? total troll.
Don't flatter yourself.
Your "tropical beaches" video was active today. The same "tropical beaches" video wherein you fly over populated areas (that you suggest other folks not do). The same "tropical beaches" video that is on Youtube along with the snowy video of you flying over a populated area.
Your hypocrisy was very funny so I asked you about it.
So, are you in favor of a "complete ban on RC aerial craft" because you don't follow the FAA's suggestions or do you just like to tell other folks how to use their Phantoms while you continue to disregard the FAA suggestions (and we all know what that will lead to - a complete ban according to you)?
spanktimonious said:thongbong said::lol: That wasn't "advice" from me, that was advice from FAA--like you asked. You have a bad sense of humor. Why are you pissed?
You're confusing laughing at you with being pissed. Please continue.

In the mean time, when I fly, I try to just use some common sense and courtesy. I'm not sure flying next to a highway at night qualifies, so that's one I will personally steer clear of. The more responsible we are at our hobby, the less likely it will be that they just ban it altogether figuring we're all morons. I'm not implying that flying next to a highway is moronic either. My suggestion is just to try to be good examples for the hobby.
The more ways people find to abuse something, the more strict the laws will be.

I suppose it still won't be good enough for you, but for the rest of us I think it makes it pretty clear that the FAA and the AMA have been working together regarding our mutual interests.
You're correct, it doesn't support the myths that you posted.

NOLeoS said:Well one thing is for sure, it's a potent distraction for drivers at night for sure. I'd imagine it has the potential to trigger an accident if the road condition is unfavourable (lots of turns, bad lighting, two ways traffic, etc); so this would be something that the traffic authority would want to protect the people from..
we have too many laws in this country protecting idiots

YOU asked where are people getting this stuff, and its not like we made it up. Everyone is trying to tell you WHERE WE GOT IT FROM!
Here's what you asked if you've forgotten already.

Of course no one can take you seriously because you're a clown.
