So in Sweden, if the device I am flying has a camera, it is a surveillance drone requiring a government permit...no camera, it is not a drone, no registration required, it is just a hobby model....hmm where have I heard that idea before...so simple a Swedish social democrat can understand it :-)

Hopefully our advocacy group, the AMA can reopen the case and make this simple argument to the FAA and separate my model aircraft away from these flying tripods.

For the 1% of modelers that flew with cameras (like me) before all of these idiot drone youtube posters, well tough luck.

Hey Mike, I think you are a rocket guy, this was my last "flying tripod", 0-100 in about 2 seconds!
