I keep seeing these things flying, and the video produced and posted on UTube, and I keep having the following thoughts:
In the event that one should have a mechanical problem and take on the aerodynamic stability of a brick, and then strike someone on the ground, the liability could be pretty high.
I have a friend who is talking about getting one and wants to take it to Braun Bay and fly it over the crowd. Same worry about bodily injury as above, and then posting a video where some folks may not want to see themselves splashed all over the internet. (Back about 44 years ago from right now, I was skiing at Pat's Peak with my soon to be fiancée. We got off the chair lift and as we got ready to ski away, I looked back at the off load area and saw a good friend of mine getting a nice kiss from his skiing companion, who was not his wife. Imagine his surprise when he saw us. Imagine if I had been taking pictures and posting them on the internet
.) Be careful who you are posting pics of.
Final thought: When we lived in Bossier City LA, there was an RC airport about a mile from our first house. I was an air traffic controller at the time (yeah, I know, a scary prospect, at least for those who know me), and would go up there and chit chat with the pilots. We were told that one day one of the pilots had a very nice, very large, very expensive plane up flying and as he started to turn it back to the runway, it ceased following his instructions and flew over towards the high school and its parking lots and disappeared. They rushed over to the HS, but the plane was not found. They felt that someone had a high powered remote control that had taken over control, then landed it at the HS. I'm sure that remote controls are far more sophisticated than back in the early 70's, but I would hate to see my $300 and up toy and equally expensive camera go bye bye.
Just an old guy's opinion (liability concerns come from having worked in personal lines insurance, another scary thought.).
