Looks like we'll need a new section on the forum for droning! I'm looking forward to the videos/photos. I'll wait until Ernie buys a bunch of drones and such and then buy it from him when he has to sell to make room for more stuff

Well thought out plan, think I'll pick one up then as well.

ANYWAY....I am planning to bring this with me on a couple trips this year (THE DRAGON) and experiment a bit with it.

Hmmmm....good for practicing my casting skills!

Don't fly it near the White House!........guy did that this week with a quadcopter and is deep doo doo.

Guy was drunk when he flew it into restricted air space.  He was an NGA employee with a clearance and should have known better.  Deep doo doo’s a good way to describe it.

They are likely to be restricted going forward with the White House incident.

They are restricted now, but mostly for commercial use.  Search “Pirker Drone case” for more info.  The appeal defines the current FAA authority over drones.  Privacy issues are a different matter.

Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 discusses the special rules for model aircraft established by Congress. 

But what do I know, all I do is fish.

BTW, nice pix!

I can now see the Ashburn Villahge HOA banning these under the guise of "peeping drone".

Actually ... Loudon County does have "peeping Tom" regulations that prohibit someone from viewing another person's property with optical enhanced devises (not sure of the exact wording, but close).

Strap a GoPro onto a drone & now you have a first person view optical enhanced devise.

But, with that logic we would all be guilty by having a camera on our iPhone and taking a picture of someone/something with someone's "property" in the background.  It would seem to me it has to depend on the intent and content of a picture/video.

I agree people are looking for battles and promise not to hover the copter outside your window.  That is pretty much the last thing I want to take pictures of!!

What's with the Gannet anyway? Isn't this mostly a freshwater deal.

Be a while before Beaver Dam has a bird show like that one. Were you the lucky one who snapped that pic? I'm jealous.

I love his photos! He's so pro. Oh yeah he fishes good too

I am sure I will have plenty of videos of crashing....so it will be entertaining!

This is what the news reported crashed on the lawn of the WH - they are down to about $500 now.  Maybe less if you look around.



This video is the dude the FAA fined, and shows some of the things a drone can do.
