We were originally talking about flying the damn things over
neighbor's back yards. Now you want to discuss flying over
a neighboring farmer's field.

That is the problem when you write laws. What constitutes invading
privacy? Who knows what goes on in corn fields?

I think the bigger fear is for those guys swimming naked while a drone
flown by a
12-year-old is overhead and then getting arrested for indecent
exposure - as in
Harry's idea.


Ah! I just thought of the perfect place for "hobbyists" to go fly
their quads.

Public and private golf courses. Lots of room, not too many people in
any particular area and sounding like giant mosquitoes will only offend
a few.


And RV parks...I mean, who really knows what goes on in those places?


Get yourself a quad and find out for yourself. Or, better yet, convince
your bride to buy you a camper and join in on the fun. The friendliness
and camaraderie might rub off on you. In a way it's like boating where
participants look after each other, usually. But, as in every social
situation, there's always a few jerks who won't play nice.


So far, I've met only one jerk. But then Harry hasn't been to any RV parks that I
know of.

I haven't read one reason in this newsgroup why "RV'ing" would be
appealing. I appreciate that some of you think it is appealing and maybe
even fun.
