here in the states the F A A is looking forward to using its new found regulatory and enforcemnt power on both commercial AND recreational fliers and we have examples like this guy, flying in a crowded, pedestrian and vehicle packed area that happens to also be a NO FLY area PERIOD...

Reckless drone pilot cuffed as he tries to collect his gadget after crashing it over busy streets near Times Square

• Steven Funes, 27, was flying the drone from his hotel balcony across the road
• It crashed at 4.30pm as 7th Avenue was packed full of Christmas shoppers
• He was held by security as he tried to collect his gadget from the balcony
• Flying drones is controlled throughout New York and prohibited in Manhattan
  

Stupid idiots like this give our hobby a bad name causing all these tight regulations for responsible pilots

Hello and good day. Please follow the rules and regulations on how to fly drones. We need to keep in mind the safety of people around us. We should all be responsible pilots. Thank you.

Het got what he deserved

I think it’s fair to say pretty stupid , but where do we draw the line, should we fly within the rules in order as not to bring down the law and rule makers on drone communities.
You yourself have posted a number of times that you flew your Spark out 3000 metres, now it’s impossible to see a spark at 500 metres let alone 3000, surely this is not going to help anyone and further posting it on an open forum does no good for anyone who flies drones.
I believe many break the rules particularly flying out distance and also exceeding height limits, I take the view that this is there business until they decide to publish it.

I suppose someone else posted this, you should also read the link, and you have posted same in other threads. Even if you meant feet then I would say it’s highly unlikely you could see a spark at 3000 feet, so there is something hypocritical going on .

disappointing to read this news. It really don't help our cause,   flying drones in the USA or around the world for that matter.

thanks for sharing
