nope, not cool at all. dude got arrested and is facing unlawful endangerment and a few other chargers. Pretty sure there would be a TFR in effect so the FAA will also have a field day with him. or we can only hope.

His defense could be that he was doing a public service to get limits put on the things.

I don't understand at all your point about putting them in the hands of an old hobbyist
Haha, the phrase is "any old hobbyist;" it has nothing to do with age.

Perhaps...it means "no particular," "whichever," "whatever." Combined with "hobbyist" it was meant to denote "with no special skills or qualifications."

So, drones will provide dramatic climbing pictures and footage.
And they are new, and they represent an advancement in technology.
So what.
Do a crossword puzzle if you need to be amused.

are you telling that to anyone that picks up a climbing rag as well? if so then i'm good. if not you are a hypocrite or just detached from reality. yeah, nobody gives a sh#t about ever looking at climbing pictures - is that what you are eluding to?

Airplane pilot hears something, lands and reports a drone sighting to the FAA. Goes home to post and boast in the anti-drone thread...even speaks publicly about never seeing it, yet proud he's turning in those evil drone pilots...FAA investigates, finds it was a bird, forums and posts all deleted and pilots finally coming under the scrutiny they need for starting all this drone hate, that some here have drank by the tank load..
I worked with plane pilots and drone operators to break the story. The reports you see in the media and even the official drone reports and sightings near full scale airplanes are padded stats done with intent by people who fear the future.

i told a guy yesterday that it was illegal to fly a drone in the park as he was flying it by the bridge. he told me he could break my face after i took a picture of him.
drones are creepy. i had wanted to take a quick dip in the river, but want about to take off my clothes with a drone flying around.
