Wow now this is quite funny to me to see these comments by the UAV policeman!! Certainly this person is quick to be critical of anyone flying outside what he believes are safe flying practices but he suggests giving the same device to a child is acceptable!! Wow now I have seen it all
Your r/c aviation experience is quite limited it would appear thus your rapid judgement of me.
(I can make judgements too!)
Visit your local flying club airstrip and see the number of 'children' operating fixed-wing r/c aircraft which take skill, dedication and discipline to learn how to fly.
There's no hovering, GPS, RTH, and all the other fancy add-ons that allow 90% of the toy camera operators to keep it airborne.
This is why there are so many incidents of unprepared operators getting themselves into trouble and in some cases the news.... no experience, understanding of the dangers, or respect for others' safety to name three.
