He's not a troll. He's just a newbie. Newbies don't know about all the hot button issues in the hobby like drones, and you can't expect a European to know about our current issues with the FCC in the United States anyway. He's working on a senior engineering project for a grade. There are lots of those guys in the forums in the spring here in the US, so it's not a new situation.
Now that we know more about what you are up to, Domino60, we can be more helpful to you. Autonomous drones and traditional RC are two different hobbies really, at least in the US. Yes, autonomous drones do use lots of the same equipment as traditional RC aircraft, but they are becoming more and more specialized as hobbyists and now business owners are trying to push the performance more and more. RCUniverse is mostly about traditional RC, so most of us don't know anything about special antenna designs and radio modifications to improve range. A standard RC radio is good for about a mile, and that's more than enough for our purposes. You should have a look at drone specific forums to get the information you want.
www.diydrones.com could be helpful, especially if you will be using a 3DR flight controller. Some Google searching will probably turn up a few more similar drone specific forums where participants are pushing the performance of their machines way beyond what's been possible before.
