Franklin: It is not a matter of Time, it's WHEN R/C will end. I don't want to be somebody that thinks negative but the actions that follow will be more regulation, if not a total ban on R/C if something is not done to correct this.
It seems to never end. These clowns fly these drones anywhere, at any altitude they want, and could care less about regulations. Maybe these people just don't know the danger involved flying in a regulated airspace. They should, before even being permitted to buy one of these drones. Look at Gun Laws, they want your drivers license, name address, phone number, and a positive ID. before you can even buy a gun within the law. Then you have a waiting period for some states while they do a background ID, and some states have it immediately? As I see it now, today, anybody can go in and buy a drone, and go on their merry way.
Go out fly it 1700 ft AGL, and have fun, acting like complete idiots, while real pilots are taking emergency actions to avoid these pests, trying to land a full scale airliner filled with people? It's sad, but it will continue because nobody has made any conscious decisions or drafted any rules regarding this subject and or try to protect the AMA Pilots that usually follow the rules of Safety. The ones that don't are expelled, maybe that's what we are faced with??? I don't know.
