RE: AMA emails on Drones/Right to Fly
ORIGINAL: Valve floater When will it stop? The person who is flying in a commercial jet and takes pictures over the town out the window. The cub flying around taking pictures over my town or looking out sight seeing and saw something they were not supposed to see during a pleasure ride. Taking a picture with your cell phone of your family, but you may have your neighbors house in the background. Did you get permission? Privacy? A multicopter is just a heli with 4 to 6 motors. We have been flying rc heli`s for what, 30 years. They are not some kind of evil new rc thing. Guys, a foamy, to a 170cc plane can carry a sort of camera. I just want to fly my multicopter at an AMA site. LOS, under 400 ft, safely, and have some fun with a gopro camera and film the fun we have at my RC club. We fly our planes right? You can take a gas plane up above the clouds as high as we could. BUT WE DON`T!It`s common sense. I am a club member like you, and fly large gas planes. I do agree that crazies doing things as filming where they are not supposed to, and that be needs to be stopped. Where have you seen people doing that? I will give you permission to take mine down if i am that stupid. But be aware the average joe doesn`t know the diff. between a AR parrot, mutlticopter, jet or 200cc plane. You don`t want the public to throw us all in a handbasket, which is scary. Rc planes has been a hobby for over 100 years. Let`s keep it a hobby. I will take the camera stuff off if i have to,to protect my hobby. But this drone thing, as far as the hobbyist is getting out of control. |
RE: AMA emails on Drones/Right to Fly
ORIGINAL: on_your_six I do not think we have a "Right" to fly unmanned aircraft, I think we should have a license to fly ALL unmanned aircraft including that 40sized model. Maybe not a model designed to fly indoors. The license to fly an RC aircraft could be as simple as taking a test to acknowledge what you can and cannot do. Just what harm is that? Yet I hear people screaming about loosing their rights. For larger aircraft (size to be determined) the knowledge test should increase. As the capability of the aircraft flown increases so should the knowledge demonstrated to fly it. But as far as having a Licence to fly a 40 sized RC model the AMa as a Comunity Based Orginization doesn't require/recomend that. Don't get me wrong ... I don't believe that some people should be made to prove their knowledge and their ability to properly fly RC models, and many of these people have been at this Hobby/Sport for 30 years or more.... and every club has at least one ... U know the guy that crashes / flys over the flight line ect ect a lot. </span></span></span> |

Best video yet on the issues/benefits/concerns on drones. Well worth the 27 minutes <div>
</div><div>At the end is an amaning video of a formation of micro multi rotor heli drones playing the "James Bond" theme on instruments..........

So keep strapping your little cameras to your slow sticks but dont say you are with the guys flying 2 and 3 hundrad pound drone look alikes that will hurt our hobby. joe</span> </div><div>The majority of drones will be in the 10-60 pound range. They will have most of the capabilities without longer flight times and higher costs, thus affordable to more users. </div><div> </div><div>No one has limited this thread to a certain weight.

RE: AMA emails on Drones/Right to Fly
I think the point is that like a learners permit exam doesn't show you know how to drive, just that you read the rules and know what a stop sign means.
Like the general disregard for red lights (at least in Jacksonville), I dont think it will help, and then it has to be administered which the FAA doesn't have the manpower or money to do, they have their hands full with FS aviation. |

RE: AMA emails on Drones/Right to Fly
ORIGINAL: on_your_six I think that the FAA has caused this huge mess by failing to do their job and administrate the use of the national airspace. I do not like all the comments, especially the tone of the ''old fart'' (his words) military pilot. There are some fine pilots out there that did not get a DOD stamp on their forehead. I do not think we have a ''Right'' to fly unmanned aircraft, I think we should have a license to fly ALL unmanned aircraft including that 40sized model. Maybe not a model designed to fly indoors. The license to fly an RC aircraft could be as simple as taking a test to acknowledge what you can and cannot do. Just what harm is that? Yet I hear people screaming about loosing their rights. For larger aircraft (size to be determined) the knowledge test should increase. As the capability of the aircraft flown increases so should the knowledge demonstrated to fly it. If you are flying FPV (broadcasting camera) you will need to have equipment such as an encoding altimeter, ADSB in and out so that you can both see and be seen in the airspace. Yes I know the cost of that statement. A fixed camera is just not enough when you cannot look around. You are in fact an aircraft like all others, so act like it. You will have to be trained in a manner like all pilots are currently trained... especially Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) to fly into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). Gone will be the days of visual flight into the clouds. The planes will have to be of better construction with backup systems so they don't drop out of the sky like so many RC airplanes I see currently. If you want to fly commercially, you will have to train for that privilege. I fully support the private use of unmanned aircraft. Manned aircraft can currently do all the ''spying'' people are complaining about. If your wife likes to sunbathe in the nude, she should expect pictures of her posted on the internet. The sky does not belong to the property owner... much case law on that. The FAA owns the skies, so FAA get on the stick and issue some rules before we have all this legislation that creates all sorts of fences. Unlike the Second Amendment, there is no guaranteed right to own or operate a motor vehicle. Driving is a privilege for someone who has the means, and so is owning and operating an unmanned aircraft (model airplane). The truth hurts, but I indeed have several drones in my place of residence. They can just as well be equipped with cameras and video downlinks, and converted to quiet electric power rather than internal combustion. With the massive assault on our second amendment rights, I feel that some misguided souls could improvise and use R/C technology for a hostile purpose if they think the government is up to no good. It has never happened yet, but given time it can become an unfortunate possibility. Flying a model aircraft is a privilege, not a right. Just because I have used my equipment in a responsible and safe manner, does not mean that someone else will do the same. I have to agree, that there shouldn't be a problem with licensing requirements to operate an unmanned aircraft. A license is required to operate a motor vehicle, and hundreds of millions of people abide by the law every day, and get to their destinations safely. Unmanned aircraft could be put to many good uses, aerial photography is one example: Serving the pleasure of seeing how things look on the ground, on a clear and pleasant day. But the ability to have that pleasure, should be met with some responsibility on the part of the operator. I am not for being restricted to limited AMA flying fields. If I have a proper license, I should feel confident to legally operate my drone where I see fit, as long as it does not violate the rights of others. The ability to operate an unmanned aircraft legally, in any jurisdiction, could open the airspace to many people who would otherwise not be able to access it due to costs, or other limitations from full-scale manned aircraft. The FAA has been dragging their feet on this for far too long. NS |

RE: AMA emails on Drones/Right to Fly

But, for anyone among us to do the same is just un-freaking-believable to me. |

I think most of us are talking about drone flyers ,well at least iam. If they want to fly over a beach to get pics of the lady's with 50 or 60 pound airplanes ,let them take the heat for it. Sooner or later there are going to be some drone flying goof balls that mess it up in these others little drone world and i dont want my rc planes getting caught up in the crossfire. Their are drone forums and those of you who remember the ferrit ,thats where he went to so i rest my case about a goofball. joe
