Just shy of 68, and all this time I've thought the FAA was doing a great job. But the fiasco of the 737, all the time wasted on trying to regulate a hobby?

I wouldn't say you can't get hurt. Weight of the drone at 20+, but the sharp blades spinning however fast. But generally I think you've a good point. I'm not a fan of their desire to control, and am a bit disappointed in the number of ppl who think it's a wonderful thing. Talking bout fliers...

Not really, U.S. here and tab a is 32 bit. But bought mine for reading and light browsing. This was before I got my mini. If I had known would have got something with 64 bit. Though not an apple.

Thanks for reply, not an apple fan though.Was on a semi hunt for a cheap 4 to use on drone.Ya stumble across them once in a while.

Having more and more laws telling you what to do may be fine for some( don't know why, guess they need their hand held) but I try to be responsible for anything I do. Don't want a law. Guess I'm proudly "one of those schmucks.

Taking pics,or JUST looking? A CERTAIN level of privacy? Strange thoughts ,a peeping tom would get just deserts, whether there in person or mechanically.

Lost it, last I heard the drone at Heathrow/Gatwick was probably a police drone looking for looking for a reported sighting.

Not for nothing, think you're missing the explanation that explains said photo. Trespassers.

Well I think it should be differentiated, because that's just ridiculous, 30 miles for a hobby drone. If you wanted to do damage you'd have a lot bigger drone and all the laws in the world wouldn't stop you. I'm disappointed the ama didn't do a lot more and more ppl didn't complain. It's a...

Are there regs for the submarine drones? You might hit a diver or a ship. Do you need VLOS? Can you carry explosives? A mobile mine. Oh my gods, think of the damage. And what about swimmers at the beaches. Oh the humanity.

So we all suffer because of some morons? And smile and say thank you? I think that is the bigger problem, oh please, tell us what is good for us.

Not being paranoid or a conspiracy guy, cuz I'm not, but does make one wonder. And "requiring" your logs could just be a cover.

You're not allowed to fly in a thunderstorm? Other than not good for the drone.
