No, these people have no idea what;s in the background, and it's not going to be pretty if something happens. I am not trying to discourage anybody, just know what the possibilities are if something doe's happen, that's all.
Will the 18 year old kid working in the local HobbyTown make the drone buying experience safer that buying it from a WallyWorld clerk? Hobby shops are often unintentional non-profits. They rarely hire lawyers with experience in FAR to sell toy airplanes.
