Good point... if they lose their hobby shop they will forced to go into some business that actually makes money... We should just boycott hobby shops that sells them dangerous drones and do them a favor LOL

Isn't it sad that we live in such a world now that people "need" guys like you to tell them right from wrong??? But of course those that say we need such oversight really believes it's just everyone else that "needs" the oversight...not themselves... Self righteous nit-wits galore...

Truly strange, my mother taught me right from wrong I guess there seems to have been a slip up. Although, some people are born with defective brains.

In order to contact your hobby shop you first have to define what is a drone.

There is no real guidance about how to select a safe place to fly the toy. It talks about common sense. I will tell you that there is noting in common seance that can be relied on. The real problem is, that anyone who buys this product will most likely not read the manual, unless they need technical help and then they will go directly to that page, ignoring all safety instructions. The real problem is, that without a safety culture built into the product directions there is a guarantee that something bad will happen eventually. And, we are already seeing these things happen.
John: You are right on! I guess some people see it differently on this thread, so be it. If they see it differently, they sure as hell don't give their side of view honestly, just babble in riddles, post it, and make you think you are wrong, but you're not. The negative person babbles on and on, and really doe's not understand the complexity of the problem. They are right in their mind,, so be it,
Everybody thinks the AMA will save us, they will not, nor the FAA. If you personally violate flight Safety Rules as posted, get a Lawyer, you will need one!

Let me explain to LCS:" without Safety Culture built into a product, there is a guarantee that something Bad will happen eventually. It's happening right before our eyes. Quoted by John She, I agree 100%.
I don't have all the answers, and yes I make mistakes,many times, not just with this hobby but in Life in General, but just once, I learn something from that, and do not make the same mistake twice. Nobody knows everything, and everybody should learn from their mistakes.

By definition, a drone is any remote controlled or self-controlled unmanned aircraft. Every flying machine in the hobby store is a drone. That would include, kit, ARF and RTF versions of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft both scale and non-scale. All drones fall within the jurisdiction of public law 112-95.

I agree with you however it seems oneaew has another definition in mind although he won't say what it is.

I think Houndog may have made this reply:

"It is time to require background checks of both private and commercial sale, we also need an registration for all drone. Owners should be required to take classes and get permits before they are allowed to own one as well. That'll keep insistent like this from happening."

although the font wasn't as usual the wording is very familiar

LOL

Didn't see Lilly anywhere over 400'. Didn't see Lilly near any maned aircraft. Didn't see lilly near over un-suspecting crows. Didn't see Lilly doing any thing like out of sight of pilot. OOOPs did't see a pilot either.
Himmmmm may be LILLY GOOOOOD Drone no need stinking pilot.

probably because it's a figment of their imagination, like a thing that goes bump in the night, or Bigfoot, or a "quick" visit to a DMV.

Bet the same thing was said of nitro, then gas, then ARF, then foamies, then heli's. Some people just can't deal with change.

Just wait until an airliner is involved , then you will see the change! Big Time.

O/K...we will see a change in what? Like be specific. And it has to be an airliner I take it, not a smaller plane or a heli, or say a train?. Not scary enough an example? Avoid the temptation to sensationalize (just as other complain that the media does), or give a vague "bad things gonna happen" ala chicken little. It gets to a point where I think people actually want something really bad to happen so they can finally say, aha, see I said it was going to happen. We have an ungodly amount of rules and regs on virtually everything we do, and yet cars crash, laws are broken, planes fall out of the sky, etc etc.

This solves absolutely nothing:
