If you have a crash and an incident as a result, you could be fined for not following part 107. What? You don't have part 107???? OK even more fines.

No part 107 is necessary. When you are scanning someone's roof you are no longer doing a recreational flight.

I have a cop buddy I fly with. He runs the drone program for the sherrifs office. He said most cops do not have time for the Karens in the world. As long as you are following the rules you are good. Even with drones sub 250g if you make a video and monetize your youtube or make money from the...

I hate those park rangers who think they own the park I pay taxes on that is there for my use. No rules but they still try to run you off.

Causing a "nuisance" is what they can get you on if they call the police.

Get some strobe lights to put on it. You can see it farther. Be aware of low flying helicopters. We have air care and county sheriffs coming over the horizon low all the time.

There was an article a few weeks ago where a guy shot down a drone a guy was using to find a dog. Throughout the article there were links like “terrorists using drones”. It’s sad that negative hype is driven to make a buck. Even YouTube and google were accused of driving people towards links to...

I love to watch Air Disasters which is about NTSB investigations that have improved air safety. It is amazing how many crashes in the past were due to human error. Ripping out all the sophisticated automation and electronics and going back to the human element only would just open us up to...

Aman’s compliments yes, Trump’s compliments are just based on ignorance.
