The Safe Way to Use UAS
Welcome to the exciting world of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). You are about to begin participating in an activity that is fun, fulfilling, and challenging. This hobby requires an individual to be ready and willing to learn, and to accept personal responsibility.
Read the instructions that came with your aircraft. Before your first flight, you will need to learn how to program and calibrate the settings and safety features of both your transmitter and the aircraft’s flight controller (internal computer).
[h=3]To be Safe and Successful Flying, you should pay attention to the rules as bellowed:[/h][h=4]1.Your aircraft should contain a set of instructions[/h][h=4]2.You are responsible for this aircraft and its actions.[/h][h=4]3.Your aircraft can be dangerous to people, other aircraft or property. [/h][h=4]4.Your aircraft has limitations and can experience loss of control, fall, or fly away[/h][h=4]5.The radio frequencies used by this aircraft are not secure or 100% reliable. Interference can cause a sudden loss of control[/h][h=4]6.Flying at high altitudes or in the same airspace as manned aircraft could result in a collision and could KILL someone[/h][h=4]7.Plan your flights and give yourself safe options in case of a problem[/h][h=4]8.Flying in some public areas, cities, or near airports is prohibited by law[/h][h=4]9.Protect the privilege of you and others to fly UAS and model aircraft by acting and flying responsibly[/h]The community of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems users is experiencing an uphill battle in ensuring all those new to the technology use it safely and responsibly, with clear awareness of the risks and effects of their actions. Improving safety and encouraging respectful behavior must begin with education.
Enjoy using your aircraft safely and responsibly.

My Feedback: (1)
Good advice for all aspects of the hobby. I don't think the problem lies in the use of these devices by existing modelers. The risk is the non-modeler making an impulse buy then operating in a careless manner. He or she will never become aware of these risks until after an incident occurs. Then our elected representatives will enact broad, sweeping restrictions on all non-man carrying devices that fly that will impede or even eliminate our existing hobby.
Personally, I wish the devices had never been invented, but the milk has already been spilled.
