I am in favor of fining idiots like this, but, not for added regulations for a hobby such as ours. A few rules regarding UAV's, yes, keep them line of sight, or face fines, dont fly them close to people or buildings, unless it is being done under a permitted purpose such as movie making, or some sort of commercial enterprise, and done under strict guidance pertaining to the issued permit. Other than that, leave us alone to enjoy our hobby.

We are only 130K strong and maybe a half million flying some kind of R/C. When the comment period to the FAA on the subject they only received 30 some thousand comments. How do U expect to vote out those that side with the NTSB & FAA. It's imperative that we keep informing our congressmen and senators as to the plight of out Hobby/Sport and the Importance of keeping the government out of regulating it out of existence like they have pretty much done to General Aviation. Just be happy the Lawyers haven't found us YET.
