The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is investigating footage posted on social media of a man fishing from a chair that's being lifted by a homemade drone.
Key points:
- CASA says while it's a first for Australia, it's not a really sensible thing to do
- An aviation expert says it was a risky move due to a lack of quality control over homemade drones
- The drone's designer has declined to comment
In the vision, taken at Upper Coliban Reservoir in central Victoria, the man, with beer at hand, is carried for several metres above the water, catches a fish and eventually returns to shore.
