Or maybe there really ARE two sets of safety codes ? One for us , as Franklin calls us "the unwashed masses" , and one for the higher ups who feel that attracting the droners at all costs , even the cost of going against the same #550 the rest of us has to follow , is well worth breaking the very requirements that we ALL are led to believe ALL are to follow ?
Maybe Franklin's royalty or religious analogies really weren't all that far off of the mark ?
Edited because I was replying to Astro's post #6 , but quoted the wrong post instead , and so I have removed the mistaken quote .
Why does the AMA have anything to do with a commercial endeavor like this? Is AMA insurance in effect for this? When we fly for the movies or a TV commercial or a UAV test we don't call the AMA to see if we are doing it right? And we have separate business insurance.
Sorry if I am getting it wrong I don't see a link and I don't know who is sponsoring it. AMA does not have World Drone Championships unless I missed that
Maybe the nice location explains it?
