you think i'm an idiot but you think my little toy drone is sneaking up behind your plane... maybe you should stay on the ground where its safe
Corey, since I don't know you, I cannot tell. You may just be juvenile and a bit immature or just be trolling, trying to insult people for fun. I honestly don't know, and frankly, I don't really care that much.
But I take it slow and clear so we understand each other.
A small single prop engine aircraft may be cruising at 120 mph. You will not be able to take off and get to that altitude before the plane has already passed. The only way for you to take a cool closeup picture of it is if you are
already at that altitude. And since you cannot know if the plane is flying at 1200 feet or 1500 feet, you simply need to take the risk to be in the way. See, if I am flying the plane, I honestly don't care if your copter is behind me. I probably won't even see it. What I am worried about is
if it is in front of me.
Your copter weighing 1.2 kg won't cause a fatal damage to the wings, empennage or fuselage, but it might break the windshield or even worse, the propeller. I will then need to perform an emergency landing at a nearby field. Since the altitude is already very low, the possibility to find a suitable field may be slim to non-existant, so the landing may end with substantial damage to the plane, objects in the way, personal injury or even death. And you might end up in court or possibly in jail (being from Sweden myself, I am not sure about the legal consequences in other countries). And you will have to live with it.
The risk for an in-flight collision is pretty low, I give you that - but is still there. And as such, very, very unnecessary, given that it will be nearly impossible to get an interesting action shot anyway. A small speck is more likely if anything at all.
If you want to take some truly interesting aerial shots, why not visit a nearby soaring club? They will be happy to take you for a spin. Who knows, you might end up with a new hobby.
