Gentlemen, I posted this thread because it was in the News (FOX) and happened in the U.K. As you all know there have been numerous articles on R/C Models including Quad Copters that are violating the Altitude Restrictions of no more than 400' ft within x amount miles, I think 4, but beyond that, I am not sure. Like out in a Desert, miles from any town and no Air Traffic.
The main point I was trying to make is, an irresponsible pilot flew his quad copter at 1500 ' altitude on purpose, which put the full scale pilot in danger, and his passengers., In my way of thing about this, it really doesn't make any difference if it a full size Jet or Prop Aircraft, damage could be done to people and the aircraft they are flying on. These types of careless R/C Pilots are damaging our good reputation, and exposing the model industry into future restrictions. I would not like that.
