The more dams the took out the more trees the beavers took down.
Doh! Why they couldn't think that far ahead is really funny! Too bad stupid little ideas have such big consequences.
I believe technically the FAA governs all air space everywhere above the ground. Pilots know that flying below 5K feet is flying by sight. Do I have that correct pilots?
The model airports sure have it tough, Chuck. There was a really nice one on an old landfill in Rockville, MD. Then subdivisions were built around it. Then it closed.
The current ruling by the FAA based on the recent legislation requires that all drone owners register with the FAA and their registration number must be put on any drone that they own (any that are more than 8oz?).Yep, another law and another group of feds that you are paying for because a few abuse the privilege.And, yes, the rule applies to all remotely controlled aircraft.Just wait a few years and all these idiots will get tired of pointing their cameras at things/people. The others will be out trying to get the next viral youtube video.
Virtually every consumer item (except one) is regulated by the Fed Government. These things are trouble waiting to happen. Not that I think they should be banned but to think what power you have with a drone whether it be cameras or dropping a load of dog sh** on your neighbor and on and on go the possibilities. They are going to be abused and if not abused mistakes will be made. And given that the things can fly high enough to get into airspace the possibility of an accident with an aircraft exists. The guy who shot this down was real lucky because he discharged a weapon in the city which is against the law in that town. Drone or no drone he did break the law and was fortunate to be dismissed on that charge. He said he shot straight up into the air and never shot horizontal and maybe that was in his favor. Out here in the county there are no laws regarding discharging weapons. I had a neighbor who was having psychotic episodes. One afternoon walked outside and just started firing off his .30.06 into the air. He did it for about 5 minutes and a couple of times a day. There was literally nothing we could do as their are no laws governing discharging a weapon in the county. He had been having mental health issues for months including seeing people at night with red glowing eyes. It was a tragedy for the guy. He was a decent dude. The family got involved and had him hospitalized.
Your county needs to come into the 18th century. Those 30.06 rounds have to come down somewhere, and while I'm sure it's a sparsely populated area, it's still dangerous. Reckless endangerment comes to mind. That's usually used as a catch-all charge when you're searching the books looking for something to charge someone with.
If you were to moon a drone, will that be illegal?Reminds me of the natives in Papua New Guinea they would down flying foxes by tying down a springy tree loaded with sticky vines then let it go as the bats flew over, I'm sure some bits of fine wire or string fired from a catapult would hamper the props somewhat. Sounds like fun, bring on the drones.
So what are you guys doing to prevent lightening or a meteor from striking your back yards ? Guessing the odds are about the same as having a drone equipped with a bomb or a squirrel armed with an AK47 invading your back yard Dusty
Hey that is a great idea. Forget the spud shooters and bring on the CO2 charged nets in the shape of a ball. Your odds are not as good as a scatter shot 12 gauge but it sure would not be illegal.
Droans and Pooping?I saw Peeing.
Now that's a cool idea and not just for drones. I have a CZ, RV85 Flare launcher. It's a 26.5mm bore and generally we play with black powder or odd ball re-loads. Trying to develop a reliable and relatively accurate, cinematic grade net launcher could be a hoot.Todd.
