School security came out this morning and nicely ran us off. The next closest legal place is in Maryland. Hell of a place to go for anything, but you gotta take a little bad with the good. The new field has a 50 yard asphalt runway and lots of room. I'm going to learn to fly this damn airplane yet. That is where the quad rotor starts to show it;s advantages. You can fly them in more places. The kid who works for my wife has developed a pretty good business building these things. Most of the skill (and profit) is actually in programming the on board electronics tho. He is also getting a lot of interest in commercial operations but the legality is still in limbo. People want him to shoot aerials of golf courses, housing developments and other real estate, them edit them into a well produced video. To get around the legal problems he is trying to figure out a way that they are actually doing the raw photography with a rented copter. He is only selling the post production and renting the copter. That is probably illegal too but he has more plausible deniability. FAA really needs to fix this BS. Knowing how our government works, they will want a license that requires years and thousands of hours of training to get. Seems perfectly ok to fly these little devices around open fields designated for such use, but flying over the backyards of people not participating in the taking of these vids seems like an invasion of privacy and shouldn't be allowed. On the other hand, might be an opportunity to develop and sell jamming devices that cause the model planes to crash and burn. Let's make a case of Google showing pictures all around your house. You have a pretty good invasion of privacy case if you want to pursue it. BTW have you filed a case against the guy who tapped on your window and scared the bejeesus out of you? Perhaps that guy just had excellent vision and spotted an asshole from 50 yards! |
