I was pretty shocked he decided to walk it out. I was just across the street and he walked out looking for a possible owner. He asked if it was mine, I said yes and asked what he shot it down with, and he said “I didn’t, it just fell” then turned to walk back in the fence. That was it.

Isn’t your opinion cute. [emoji847]

He walked it out it out to me immediately after shooting it down.

I didn't see him with the rifle until I watched the video back. You have to remember, I'm flying by the screen of an iPhone in that same sunlight. I could hardly see as it was. I brought it home and threw the video up on a 34" monitor. THAT'S where I saw it. The deputy that came to my house...

Ok everyone. I've been too busy lately with other happenings in life to address this issue. I didn't want to leave you all hanging, so for now I've decided to just move on. Hopefully all is fine internally and I don't take a random plunge out of the sky. As for the video, I don't care if you...

Is your name a reference to Lockheed?

For sure! Gun owner here, and also Mavic owner. Both are awesome!

I'm not concerned @rstekeur. I have to wait for the end of the week to hear from the prosecutors office, and I am waiting a return call from a lawyer. If I'm going to end up with no chance of a case, there's no hurt in exhausting all my options first. I'm not going to end up any worse off. After...

Yes, to be clear, I'm in Vancouver, Washington, United States of America. I do appreciate the breakdown on small claims though. I will consider it as an option.

I'm waiting on a return call from local Sheriffs office. I don't know that pursuing a civil suit is worthwhile at this point, mainly due to money. I don't have cash to go after this guy if I'm not certain I'd be getting a good judgement. I will reassess after I find out if the local...

I was waiting for a return call from the FAA. I received the call today....and they basically don't care. The caller was a really nice guy, but he said even if there was an individual firing at a 747, local law enforcement still would need to handle it. Next up I plan to get an update from...

To those awaiting the video, I apologize but there has been no movement on the case yet. I'm still planning to post it.

Woah. You read the manual! I will reevaluate next flight. Thanks! Also, if I can stick him with the replacement cost anyway, I will. There should be no damage. It should have never hit the ground, period.

Thanks for the insight. What would you imagine this might cost (ballpark figure, of course)? If there is a suit to be had, I don't mind going through the trouble provided he's going to end up paying attorneys fees and I end up with a new Mavic. I flew straight up a couple days ago, about 200...

That's insane, and absolutely awesome. Looks like I'm going shopping soon.
