I'm sorry, But I just have to say something here. I read the post and watched the video......as a world recognised hobbyist in RC with over 30 years experience, this whole report makes me very angry. There are some of us that take this hobby of droning and shooting from an aerial platform very seriously, are over precautious, checking everything several times before flying and not flying if anything "does not compute" !! Our hobby is being seriously damaged by guys like this that continue to take chances and do stupid things. With the easy access to drones, it is not likely to change ...Sadley.. !!
Being a man of few words, when you do post I know it is worth reading, Graeme. Your long experience speaks louder than words.
It is common now to find new users drawn in by ads and media that talk about "anybody can fly them", "right out of the box, etc."
I really do not think this member intended or realized the part about taking chances, and I dare say he is learning, not only from his mistakes, but also from the feedback he is getting here. The Hobby is resilient, and actually growing by leaps and bounds.
None of us can turn back the clock, have faith and patience, and work to make the Hobby better.
