congratulations north dakotahat state now is the first state that can equip their grones with pepper gas and tasers.wonderful and any other non lethal weapons. so now add drones to the paranoid country fascinated with guns and violence.I eventually will move to a caribbean island void of guns and drones.how insane have we become/meanwhile a reporter buys a gun and kills his former colleagues. no I wont preach just think we have a very violent nation and getting worse by the year.so how many states will follow north dakota and eventually they will allow guns to be attached to drones .it will never stop

Only people kill people, not guns and drones. Isn't that the name of a rock band, Gun's and Drones????

The two gouges were about 15 inches apart, about 3 inches long and went through the gelcoat. He also saw no other markigs or blood spots. Sounds like spinning rotors to me. I amagine the owner of the "UAV", or "UFO" if you like, lost a few bucks that day.

I recall a few bird strikes that did not leave blood spots, so it could have been a bird strike as well.

Not if the bird had his beak open going "aw s@$t!!!

A quadrotor would like do just that, two rotors gouge the plane but keep the body of the quad away from it. Anyway, that's what they thought but have no proof. Heck, even the pilot of the plane didn't see anything.
prop were damaged. Now how the heck could the quad damage the prop and still get thru to damage the nose (I assume behind the prop?) with still spinning rotors? |

Does it really matter?. The Aircraft was damaged by something, they have not found out what it was, Quad, Bird, or whatever?
a reported, possible drone strike on a full scale aircraft, I guess not. |
Well if nothing else this drone issue has certainly stimulated new weapon development. But I notice the story also refers to "planes"....

Well, if you don't give a rat's arse about the credibility of
a reported, possible drone strike on a full scale aircraft, I guess not. Hell yes it matters, why do you think this thread was started in the first place?. |
Well, the idiots are still at it. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/lo...323232591.html

So now what is local LE going to do about this? Great to see a story where the finally catch someone doing this, now what? Fines, arrests, confiscation of drones etc...some examples need to be made.
|
I just posted a comment to another trend on this topic. I received a reply stating that when model helicopters were introduced to our hobby they were treated the same as "drones". Was the poster correct?
|
Don't know the context of that comment, but would not be shocked to hear of that. Some people are just not agents of change, don't want to see change, don't want to hear about it, deal with it etc. Helis were probably treated the same way, just as people made fun of and scored for their use of ARF's and foamies as they started to be become more popular.

/QUOTE] Did U catch the last statement by the reporter that the FAA Drone laws were supposed to take effect this Sept. 30th but have now been again pushed back to some time in 2017. What gives? OH! that's right we are dealing with an inefficient government agency. |

OH! that's right we are dealing with an inefficient government agency. I do respect the FAA and their rules, the Federal Government rules outside the FAA rules are very questionable. The FAA could make immediate changes in these rules if and when a fatality or multiple fatalities occurs because of this problem. I would hope they would make those changes now. My question why wait for deaths to occur?, when they know the problem exists right NOW??? |

DESTROY it, are you kidding, the LE will use it or sell it in the police auction and "pocket" the money.
