"The drone operator claims to have done his best to “keep his unmanned aircraft out of the helicopter’s flight path” but the helicopter “followed his drone.” The drone pilot said “My objective was to yield the right of way to him as a full sized aircraft and to get back on the ground as quickly and safely as possible. He made that difficult I would say.”

"... what the NBC report left out of the story is the fact that the helicopter pilot runs a company that does aerial photography and video from helicopters — the exact type of company that is threatened by the emergent use of drones for the same task!"

It's pretty obvious what is happening here, I also thought the full scale pilot that reported an RC F-4 at 3,000ft was full of sh*t also, but who is going to listen to us when other hobbyist won't even listen?
