scary stuff indeed

Never thought about the Lithium Battery exploding or catching on fire! And a big drone is much heavier than a bird. How can we control this i wonder.

 

Government agencies will keep proposing actions but nothing definite will come of it until a horrific accident has happened, then the shiz will hit the fan.

 

Or shiz hits the propellers!!! What concerns me is the potential over reaction as seen with dogs, slapping children on the bottom etc.

 

Exactly right, @smakmeharder. as some of us have discussed already....... The idiots will end up ruining things for the rest of us.

 

You know i hate to say it... but what if undesirable people sat at the fringe of runways and intentionally tried to take out jet liners? I feel bad for even bringing it up - am i wrong in doing so? It actually scares me quite a bit after seeing the pictures. Drones give anyone with a few thousand dollars the potential to do some real damage. I never thought about drones in this way. Is this something we should be worried about?

 

Looks like you can that the word "nearly" out

 

I just don't get it. What business would anyone have flying r/c in or around an airport anyway..... unless they are up to no good in the first place?? .... Nevermind the obvious collision hazard and radio interference to nav equipment.

 

Just not realizing the consequences maybe @Beaver. I mean a person of any age can buy a drone. So being young (perhaps) or young minded would not help.
