Here's an interesting article on how much airspace above your property
that you "own".

That is interesting. I doubt most of these quad rotors are over 80
feet and I don't think any unlicensed craft can be above 500 feet.
That was what we were told when I flew the helium balloon as a project
with the kids.

The cops here would not take a trespassing complaint about this drone,
no matter how low it was.


That little model I showed you would work. They can be launched by hand, fly almost straight up and
catch that bugger by surprise.

Well Johnny,
The money you waste on one handgun should buy a small fleet of those RC helicopters.

The quad rotor drones?
We are having a big stink about them in my neighborhood. My Dutch
friend has one that probably costs more than any gun John has and the
neighbors are ****ed that he is over flying their houses.
This thing has a camera on it like something you would expect from the
NSA
They called the cops and found out there is no law against it. The
drone law in Florida only applies to cops and only affects what they
can use in court.
There has been some discussion of 2d amendment solutions ;-)

I don't really have a dog in this fight. I haven't seen him over my
house and I don't care if he wants a picture of my bony ass in the
pool. If he screws up and gets into that 250 kv power line behind me
it go up like fly in a bug zapper

I just looked this one up on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMa8jAPOiyA

I was surprised at how well the camera worked, especially since the
thing costs only about $130 at
Amazon. Of course this is a small one. The technology is amazing, at the price.

As for your neighbor's, maybe this would work:

"Uh, officer, I thought it was a clay pigeon and I needed to try out this 12 Gauge.

This one is a big quad rotor with a camera that has tilt, pan and
zoom so he can get in close and really get good pictures.

I imagine he would have great pictures of you shooting him down.
It is still illegal to shoot within 1000 feet of an occupied building
here.

I wonder what you could do with a jammer. My bet is this one is smart
enough to just fly home if you jammed the up link.

My other thought was a water cannon, similar to the fountains at the
Bellagio. High pressure air, shooting a slug of water. My neighbor
wanted me to make him one for shooting at boaters who were speeding in
the no wake zone behind his house.
I don't know of any law against a water gun. ;-)

How about same control he has, and increase the power. Say high to the HV
power line.


I bet there must be some kind of law about hijacking a frequency
somewhere...


I think he should take up a collection, invest in one of these, and take out the helicopter directly
over his property...with some class.

No, I'm thinking of an airplane. It's on my birthday wish list. This one: http://tinyurl.com/pp46ymp

There's a school just down the road with a big playground. Lots of folks fly there on Saturday
mornings. They use the quarter mile track as a race course, putting pylons on each end. Fun to
watch them.
