i think the so called smart quad is to blame. as if it didn't fly on it's own most of the idiot's would of crashed on takeoff. like they do with RC planes and helicopters.
i was thinking that if you attached a knife to a power drill and started waving it about in a public spot. you would be arrested. well a quadcopter is sort of the same.
also i would be very happy to take a test to prove i could fly without the aid of the onboard computer.
