I bet a quad hates getting anything string like into its airflow....
Anyhow its just sort of a ( HOW TO ) logic puzzle or challenge every time I think of it.
We have joked at the field about having one of those NET guns for the helis when they get to close or over the pits....
One of my greatest fears is a cheap jammer will be built that can bring any rc down. I admit I wouldn't want people able to simply drive by an established field and take everyone out... I know it happened in the past on 72 mhz.. I would hate to see our 2.4 radios vulnerable in the future.
For the first part, here is another way to "down a Drone"

The second part, 2.4 GHZ is a pretty reliable link for RC. That is not to say, somebody will not invent a jammer for 2.4, they maybe already have as far as I know?
