I saw a video of an idiot crashing into the side of a high rise building, and then the "device" came crashing down onto the sidewalk. Fortunately no one was there.
I saw a video in the news of yet another idiot crashing into the public at a stadium.
The FAA will have to hurry and come out with a way to regulate this or else I can see a problem. At our club we ask a minimum to sign off a member as a pilot. And even so, we were somewhat concerned when one of our members took of. He improved, and we are all OK. Do I trust every person that flies a drone? As a pilot? As a builder? Of course not.
