Chris Taylor Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 From what this says you can't make money using a drone unless you have your commercial pilots license and follow FAA guidelines. online.wsj.com/articles/ntsb-rules-drones-are-aircraft-and-subject-to-faa-rules-1416326767?KEYWORDS=NTSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted November 19, 2014 Gold Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 I assume you can still use them for assassinations, though, right!? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 You can use drones, you just can't get paid for their use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 19, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted November 19, 2014 You can get paid...just in cash and not claiming it on taxes but I'm sure no one wants to avoid paying taxes as it's our civic duty and goes to such good causes.... dripping sarcasm. Was just a matter of time before this happened. My neighbor (young 20 something) has been building a rather large one capable of stupid distances and being so close to an airport with a flight school (lots of little planes flying not so high) I can see that being a huge issue. Is there a clear distinction between dones and small (some get up to 7+ feet) remote control airplanes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thats what we were disusing at work..... However I thought you had to notify the airport when flying those large models. I guess it will all depend on i something happens, since the FAA fined the guy $10000 for reckless operation. Its funny how the FAA likes to interrupt their own rules differently to suit their needs.

Administrators Horton Posted November 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2014 @Than_Bogan so it looks like I will not be able to pay you for the @MattP assassination. Will you accept an IOU?

Administrators Horton Posted November 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2014 Back when I was doing amature rocketry I am pretty sure we did some things the FAA would have frowned on. We cleaned evidence and when home in a hurry once because we saw the airliner right after we pressed the launch button. meh no proof all these years later.

Baller rockdog Posted November 19, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2014 We had a local real estate company make the news last week after unwittingly putting up some photo's of a house they were selling that included a g-string clad woman sunbaking in the privacy of her backyard. Bit of an uproar to say the least. Not sure about drones...though they do make an awesome waterski movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted November 19, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted November 19, 2014 @ Wish "Is there a clear distinction between dones and small (some get up to 7+ feet) remote control airplanes? " That is a very good question. @Rockdog please provide a link to the real estate ad. I think I might just want to buy in your community... @Than_ Bogan @Rockdog I am sure Than was thinking of Rockdog's then anticipated post and meant to say that drones could be used for "assignations."

Baller JonB Posted November 20, 2014 Baller Share Posted November 20, 2014 At our cottage on the St. Clair River in Michigan, there was a young high school lad that started a business taking drone video's for parties & weddings (he did one of our July 4th Champagne breakfast). He also started taking video's of the lake freighters for some of his customers. In seems that his drone flying around and above the freighters spooked a few the captains and they called the Coast Guard. They tracked him down and shut down his business. Probably scared the crap out of the 14 year old and his family when they knocked on that door!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
