SHaYap Posted January 30, 2015 #26 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Like I said earlier. This is nothing new. Just because you add the name "drone" to it, means nothing. People in America have been flying remote control aircraft for DECADES. It has been regulated, and regulated well. I really can't fathom the fact that people think this is something new. Add a camera to it and it is a whole new beast? Nope. Without the cams its just a hobbyist toy ~ ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted January 30, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Indeed, what's the American law on surveillance cameras? what do you consider surveillance cameras?? are security cameras on my house, or dashcam in my car considered surveillance cameras? they are both legal Edited January 30, 2015 by aztek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you say about RC craft, and of course THEY have been around for years...most of the ones I saw as a kid, were noisy, smokey airplanes/choppers with real combustion engines. They went up, flew circuits, landed. However the 'new' quad copters are a different beast, a lot quieter, some even virtually silent, and some have high lift capabilities, which is why Amazon (for one) want to use them for parcel delivery, so in that respect, the new type drones are a new chapter in RC craft. As I said earlier, strap, a bomb to it, fly it into a crowd and you'll cause a major incident before most people would have heard or even seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and what dont I know? Ive had RC aircraft when I was kid and both my boys had them when they were younger. We even had an RC speedboat Ive flown them, the boys flew them. The chopper was the noisiest but at a hundred meter high you can barely hear it. You didnt watch that vid did you? You dont want to be wrong, do you after asserting your expert opinion on everyone else. Had you watched the vid, from about 9.50 mins in there are 3 quads being used to play catch with a net. 3 of them, sounds no more than louder than a beehive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cant take it can you? Both vids I showed were very quiet indeed. Ive seen countless vids on youtube of 'typical' quads...and YES they are ALL noisy.. Just not the ones I posted.

aztek Posted January 30, 2015 #49 Share Posted January 30, 2015 not for nothing but this drone tech will revolutionise small helicopters, they can be build\maintained a lot cheaper, no transmissions, no turbines, no drive shafts, and no dealing with engine tourge. just batteries\ computer and dozen or more motors, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent0range Posted January 30, 2015 #50 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't get what how loud they are has to do with this conversation. The FAA sets regulations. Period. Of course people will break the rules, but that's the nature of the beast. People breaking the rules because their quadcopters are so very quiet does not mean they can't be regulated...
