Thought this was a rather interesting article about a hospital system using drones to fly blood samples... Hospital using drones to fly blood samples between buildings I saw a local news story recently about using drones to deliver AED's for people suffering cardiac arrest, wish I could find...

Why? Why is it better to stop doing what we enjoy to satisfy their paranoia? And then, why stop with just drones? Maybe the next thing is they don't like you parking the car pointing towards their house! I'm sorry but they need to realize they are in the wrong which they probably won't, but...

Thanks for that!

Yes, I know. Thanks for confirming it.

What a great idea, thank you!

What you claim to know doesn't apply to the discussion at hand. Did the OP break the rules? Yes, he went out of line of sight. For those in the thread that asked for links: FAA USA FAQS FAA USA Recreational Rules

There's no reason for that comment... Having dealt with a cop that didn't know the law but took a few minutes to learn it before she responded to the situation, your comparison is out of line.

Really? I agree that they have to deal with more crap these days. But I disagree that you can't question them when they are wrong, or ask them to show you. Fortunately my two LEO involvements related to my drone were pleasant experiences, one of which included a LEO that didn't know the law...

Since you spent a lot of time studying and still don't clearly understand the rules, maybe it's a good thing you are not getting into it. I hope that your wife does get her money back.

Does that allow full line of sight? The way I have mine now I can tell which way the drone is pointing. Red/Green facing forward on the arms and the tri-white on the back.

That is nice, too bad there's not one for the MPP.

I'm loving them! Best thing I've gotten related to my drone. Can't recommend them enough.

I wonder, did they bother to find out if any of the flights that didn't break the rules in that report contact the towers for notification / approval? I have a coworker that has flown at Daytona beach. He contacted both the airport and school towers, and was asked not to fly over 200' at the...

Interesting story in my local news... And I believe good news for drones... Drones to deliver AEDs, lifesaving medical equipment in Orlando

My flights are 100% for fun. Any videos I take are for personal use. Never say never, but I just don't see myself doing anything more with it, certainly not pursuing any form of money making.
