And THIS type of stupidity is why "Drone" operators should be dis- associated with our hobby.
And why we should insist that the AMA take steps to curtail any further damage to our hobby by "Drone" operators.
What these types of incidents cost the individual "Drone" operators is of no interest to me.
Rather, the damage that the "Drone" operators are doing to our hobby and the businesses associated with our hobby is my greatest concern.
You don't "fly"a "drone".
You simply program it or point it to go where you want.
If you aren't dealing with all the variables that are constantly changing in guiding a plane or helicopter thru the air IN LINE OF SIGHT, then you aren't flying.
There is no building, craftsmanship skill associated with assembling a "Drone"
They have nothing to do with the fundamentals of model aviation.
They are simply a fast track to instant gratification for any ID10t that has the financial ability to gain access to one.
