Flying in a public shopping centre?

[Kevieboy]

Yeah, cos this is totally legal. Pretty sure toy vendors are not exempt from mandatory casa regulations...

 

[Mr. Salty]

Don't we have more important things to get bent out of shape about than what some toy vendor is doing with a little 3-ounce toy quadcopter indoors on private property?

 

[Kevieboy]

Private property? This is in a Woolworths shopping centre, buzzing around over the general public's heads.. this is only one photo. Prior to this there were 2 little old ladies that got quite a fright when it was coming toward them. If this was any of us flying over a crowded beach or footy game we'd get slammed. So why should it be any different for a toy salesman in a temporary rented indoors space with a distance of 2 or 3 metres?

WTF.

Indoors is not part of the regulated airspace that aviation authorities have a say about anywhere I know of. You do whatever you want as long as whoever rents you the place if it's not yours is OK with it.

oh lord I can't believe he did that (sarcasm)

You make a point Kev. One injury and legislation will begin.

Plus if it dips down behind the counter...legally he will be flying that out his L.O.S...he is ruining it for all of us[emoji54] should be banned!

I think it was Plato or Aristotle that once said... "Just enjoy your life and stop being a whiney little ***** about people not actually causing any harm with their drones". I'm just quoting here, not my words

 

[Barrettsbuzzin]

Plus it's clearly got prop gaurds on, I'm curious what you think the worst think that could happen here is?

You're right. Crybabies are everywhere.

I do believe there are provisions for "toys" to be used in public. It likely falls under balloons and even Kites outside. The very least of our worries.
There is a post about a fast moving object caught on video while leisurely flying over a forest fire. Put some reprimanding energy into that stupidity. There is clearly a major violation happening there.

The craziest thing about this post is that a Woolworths still exists!

The vendor pays for the privilege. Get over it.

Must be in Australia, haven't seen one in the US in ages. Woolworths that is.

The problem around my area is not drones hurting people but actually full size planes and helicopters which fly right over people. We lost a man and his wife a few months ago in a helicopter crash and he had sold a helicopter a while back and it crashed also. We have had several plane crashes too. No rc model injuries so far and I started flying in the 80s. The most dangerous time at the flying field was when full size planes flew right over our heads or did hammerhead stalls over us. I saw where one man died at a stunt show while trying to jump from a plane wing to a helicopter skid! and that is legal! It seems some just cant stand it that a drone has not killed or hurt someone. Its like the only dangerous thing in the world right now is a drone lol

There are nearly 1000 Woolworths stores in Australia employing over 110,000 people.

That's Amazing, haven't seen them in the US for a very long time. Good to hear they were able to make in Australia.
