Triumphant first flight under FAA's new drone testing rules

Triumphant first flight under FAA's new drone testing rules

Payback says...

It's commerically built, and governed by FAA restrictions.

That's how much your RC plane would cost if done "the right way" with all the extra steps and testing the bureaucracy demands.

"Less than $50,000 to make"? It's a radio controlled plane for fuck's sake!

"Stupidity of American Voter," critical to passing Obamacare

Trancecoach says...

Gruber is a type of statist identified in a cartoon. Obama too, and pretty much most of the liberal elite. The people are too stupid to rule themselves so the elite must trick or force them into submission. For their own good, of course. Gruber doesn't even care to hide it. If Republicans really wanted to, they could repeal Obamacare. But do they really want to? They would have to wait until next election and get 60 Senators. And maybe elect Rand Paul.

Nixie: Wearable Camera That Can Fly

newtboy says...

Is it autonomous, or do you need a 'camera man' driving it with a cell phone? If it does all that by itself....AMAZING! If it's just an RC camera, still good, but not as good.

Fireworks filmed with a drone

My_design says...

I read the article and while he mentions a couple of ridiculous things like redirecting a firework, he does have several valid points. The fact that the quad may have been flying inside a zoned area is certainly a valid claim. There is also the fact that he most certainly was flying over an occupied area, which while not a crime is a bit of a no no, unless he has the insurance to cover it if it all goes wrong. I get a little upset/nervous when guys go behind the flight line at an an RC airshow and those guys probably have more experience than this guy.
But the one thing I can see that is most certainly an issue and could bring down the FAA on his butt is that he most certainly broke 500 feet in altitude. Since most large fireworks detonate at 1,000 to 1,200 feet and he was right there with them, I'd put his at well over 500 feet. That's a problem, and considering the recent FAA guidance that was slammed down and pissed everyone off, the last thing we need is more people doing this sort of spectacle. It will just make things worse.

Read the comments in the Forbes article. It's a ridiculous article. That drone doesn't pose any danger to anyone or the fireworks themselves. As high as that drone is flying the only thing that could have happened is a firework could have been ever so slightly out of place when it exploded. The writer of that article is a prick. It doesn't need to be pointed out that it could be considered illegal - no one gives a shit. Especially the person who is risking their expensive drone to capture that amazing video. No one would have even known there was a drone up there if it weren't for the video. He goes on to suggest how it may beckon others to attempt flying their drones through future fireworks displays.
