You eagerly await the weekly email digest because it is the highlight of your week
If you've ever checked to see if your drone will fit in your pocket, just in case
You can't wait to give your approval to the new regulation that further limits what you can do with your expensive drone.
Don't help the law makers gain ground!!!
We're the voice of moderation in the process of regulating drone use.

There are a few really stupid regulations out there from the FAA, but most of them are to keep people safe. Not necessarily you as the "PhantomPilot" (or sUAS operator as some would prefer to call us, not mentioning any names, Peter) but manned aviators have a lot more than a $1500 uav to loose. The likelihood of an incident involving your phantom and an airplane or helicopter may be small, but the outcome is grave. The over regulation is a result of the general population displaying a profound lack of common sense. There are people out there without any sense that operate drones. So thank them for the stupid regs we have to deal with. There is usually a dumb-person story behind every dumb rule.

In the "real" world of aviation that's called "hand flying".... I've never seen an "operator" (airline, charter company, etc.) do it, but have seen plenty of pilots execute such a maneuver.When you fly the middle finger are you an operator or a pilot??
You agonise about spendog another $300 on GPS locator unit because you've read about too many 'fly aways"
When you sit inside spinning blades because it to windy
When you ignore the bride's pleas for coffee, walk past the starving cats, ignore the fish tank, walk past the chooks busting to get out of the coup and check the weather trying to remember if you had a full set of charged batteries......
