I wonder if this is still covered under his accident forgiveness. :)

I agree. These are even more apart of history now and a few should be left as is.

I want to ride with both. Acro heli outside of the rc world just blows my mind. Acro in a plane i try and understand, that is until he straight up just tumbles the plane an an almost straight line. But yes I want to ride in both.

I only have two items.

One of the best little facts I learned about knockoffs. You want to know what is easier than making a copy of something that is selling well. Getting the factory hired to make it to extend its production run a little bit. Why copy when you can just get the original. I know this is not for everything but far more…

This is what worries me. The FAA is in control of airspace and anything that uses it. For experimental and other types of crafts they do there best to just allow it to be self governed by the people, or a group representing a group (The AMA). Just because they allow this doesnt mean they are not still in control…

Actaully no I am not. I am talking like it is carrying FPV gear. Over all very light but adds weight. I am pretty sure the cammera was a gopro and I dont know what other gear is on it but even if it is just the wing, made of foam, with the correct bracing and strengthening it becomes very strong. As i have said…

Very well put. It is not about keeping people from doing something. It is actually more about getting more people out doing it. And helping them understand what they are actually doing.

The FAA handles all airspace. When most people are talking about FAA airspace they are really thinking about controlled airspace. This is just part of the FAA airspace. Basically the FAA controls all airspace all the way down to the ground. yes this can lead to all sorts of silly questions about tramlines and…

Dont get me started. Drone = scarry. It's like all the anti gun people calling everything an AK- whatever. The word drone gets my blood boiling.

FAA controls airspace, so yes this falls into their area and out of the local cops. It would be interesting to see if this still could also be inviolation of local laws. But that is a side point. FAA takes care of airspace because it would be a total mess if each state handled its own.

Dude completely understand what you are saying. But when you put freedom into this that is what causes the issues. You have freedom, and everyone else around you has freedom. Freedom to do things and freedom from fear of other things. I have never seen how freedom means that a person can do what ever they want when…

I worry about this. Honestly I do. Keeping and allowing hobbies to progress something is by far the way to go about it. Things move quicker and are dynamic.

You are correct. They are over airspace and how it is used.

A few side notes I just need to get out there. The flying is amazing and he is a good pilot and knows how to use his tools. A few of the passes under the foot bridge are impressive. I am interested to know if he is flying threw the gopro or a separate board camera? The higher shots might not be as high as they…

I know FOAM!!!!! Arent engineers Freaking amazing. They can take foam and by applying the correct bracing and shaping can make something that is not only rigid enough to carry a payload of cameras and such, but can also fly. Holly crap :)

Yes, so did he have to correct items in place to operate a business in that manner. That is where I think he was reckless. I am guessing that the FAA was not notified and a TFR (Temporary Flight restriction) put in place for a period of time to allow this to happen, along with proof of insurance enough to cover…

ha ha. Please dont take what we are saying is that we want more government. but to focus on this video who ever is driving should pay for the other guys injuries if needed. And I am talking about actual costs and losses, Not this pain and suffering crap. Life is full of pain it makes us stronger. Medical bills…

So you bring up very good points. I will do my best to address them.

My worse nightmare. Then the next thing you know we have gangs of thugs running around doing drive by dive bombings and quad copter attacks.
