Good news for all you drone enthusiasts!

Guess I better start looking into one of these things.

Fuck the FAA. This is just more out-of-control government overreach.

A pilot's license to fly a drone?
Next, they'll require you to get a Class C drivers license to operate a remote controlled toy car.

Dont waist your time or money, The clock is ticking until these are banned from the public. No Shit... I am very content with my Nano Qx quadcopter

I don't think I'd have to worry about where I fly...

I spent about $1200 (I think they're a bit less now) on mine with the gimbal and camera included. One of the best platforms out there, even a year+ after I purchased it.

I wouldnt be suprised if the whole drone crashing on the WH grounds was all made up for this reason.

Note to self, don't update firmware on naza controller

I'm sure there will be a future sometime down the road where the government will be able to look into all the gps enabled drones and track their movements.

I see this as a good idea, and a move in the right direction when it comes to keeping recreational drones and/or their operators from having to be licensed out the ass. Idiot proofing... If the drones simply cannot fly into areas that are designated no-fly zones, then there should not be a need for aggressive over-reaching legislation surrounding this. Sure, there will be some, but it will likely be less invasive if the overall assumption is that people will not be able to operate in those areas.

Fuck the FAA.

We couldn't do any actually rocket builds in high school physics because we were too close to O'hare. So instead we did 2 liter pop bottle rockets. Was the biggest disappointment ever.

But I can understand something like you can't fly a drone higher than 500ft within a 5 mile radius of an airport or something like that.

Fuck the FAA? Hell, I say praise them! They are the main agency keeping our asses safe from all the dipshits trying to send random shit into the air when we fly; amongst other things! Sure, they can be a buzzkill, but I cannot complain too much if it is in the name of passenger safety.

I can easily see why you guys weren't allowed to launch rockets within that close a proximity to a major airport! There are HUGE safety concerns with that!

The issue is that you cannot legislate against stupidity, so the best alternative is to not even give the idiots an option to be able to break this safety rule in the first place.
