legal droning
Have you seen the hoops that have to be jumped through to qualify as a drone operator??!!
Costs more than the NPPL!!
Years ago, I was an Examiner in the model aircraft proficiency scheme, and should in theory have some insight into responsible RPV activity...
Crashing models is easier now, because they are purchased instead of constructed. Idiots with credit cards can cause damage and injury.
Remote control missiles have been in action for many years, the big difference is the video data link.
Hate to say it, but the Easyjet flights over my house are well within range of a powerful fast climbing model aircraft... with a camera, there's choice of cockpit or engine impact. Could lift a 20mm shell as well.
I'm one of the good guys...
