This is just the next town over from me. So everybody before you go off demanding that drones be banned, I heard from a friend that was at the event that the "drone" was actually a RC electric helicopter being flown conventionally.

There are FPV idiots and there are conventional RC idiots but the ever more clueless morons press will call the aircraft a drone!

Probably be a thread in the FPV forums calling for a ban on conventional RC as it is giving FPV a bad name.
Duh! Haven't we been debating the definition of drone for some time in this thread? By my definition which I believe is pretty standard, an electric helicopter flown by remote control is a drone.

Now I don't believe in banning drones, never have. I do believe in banning irresponsible operators of drones, or better yet punishing them severely.
