Problem is the number of people who don't follow those rules. It would be awesome if the manufacturers would start taping big hunter orange stickers to the units with these rules outlined. Maybe they have, I dunno.

My DJI phantom came out of the box restricted through the app.

Just watched a three-some in a pool in China and a bar brawl in London. Thanks!

>> A. Unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds and more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) on takeoff

So if I buy a *huge* Goodyear blimp and set it up to be flown remotely, I don't have to register it since it's weightless at takeoff, right?

Was that under Entertainment, Education, or Nature?

Works for me, thanks.

Stay above 400 feet, I'll stay below 400 and not within 5 miles of an airport.

Thanks.

Just got my quadcopter rough calibrated. Waiting on my second GPS and landing gear. Guess I could setup the voice prompts in the radio while I wait.
The evil black drone is almost complete. Haha

Everything you need to know about the risks of drones colliding with aircraft in one chart:

Attachment 62780

I foresee a new launching technique... attaching balloons to the drone to get it airborne... then a release will untether them either on command, or when a certain altitude is reached... so the weight at takeoff is less than 0.55 Lb.

It's to save battery life- yeah, that's the ticket!

I should market this as a solution- name of the company could be like Foresight Unlimited For Aeronautical Assets... FUFAA for short!
