Yes, I was talking fixed wing on this thread, but I agree.

Not convinced that a main rotor would die from a small toy drone. Tail, maybe.

No matter how many drones get bought by idiots, birds will always be a greater threat.

If we are so worried by drones, then why are we not equally worried by birds?

Toy drones are generally getting lighter as the tech advances.

Delivery drones are different, but they are also going to be regulated and operating with somebody responsible who knows he goes to jail if he causes a problem.

Much like a bird strike, really.

Puddle jumper pilots are supposed to have a handle, but despite this keep killing airliners. The fact that they have a license is irrelevant to the dead people.

Where is the worry and outrage about those smoking holes?
