    "Possible" drone crash with helicopter.

    I hope it's not too because it will only add fuel to the fire and reading the posts from the other helicopter pilots they're really getting close to being up in arms. Friends of mine couldn't fight a fire in Cali because someone was flying a drone taking pictures, other friends can't land at...

    "Possible" drone crash with helicopter.

    It's interesting that story isn't on their site anymore... But yeah why would someone want to fly up to 800ft at night? Night photo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looks like they've pulled it, I guess it was aliens instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Possible" drone crash with helicopter.

    So for all the nay sayers, kindly have a read of this... The only reason it's "possible" is because they didn't find the wrecked drone. Possible drone collides with helicopter in Los Angeles | Vertical Magazine - The Pulse of the Helicopter Industry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drone Registration. What's it really about?

    Interesting read from Popular science... Good mention about the counter productiveness of the FAA. Why Is Canada Winning The Drone Race? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Building a location app, would you use it?

    I'm not a developer but would be happy to help out, I'd need to get my app built for android anyway so could have a developer help with yours at the same time. My apps been build for iPhone at the moment because a friend of mine is an app developer but only for Apple. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Building a location app, would you use it?

    I'd just have the user use the phone gps and just create a ring of half a mile or a mile. It wouldn't track the exact location of the drone just a general area. Although that could be possible but over kill for what's needed. Thanks for the link Maddog Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Building a location app, would you use it?

    Hi all. I'm pretty new to this and am building an app that would show where you're flying so that other pilot cans see where to stay away from or be extra vigilant of an area. It could also be used to allow other UAS/drone operators to come and meet up. Would this be something you would use...

    Drone dangers rising, FAA says

    Not criticism taken, I don't like to be told what to do either, yet hopefully we can reach those that don't know what they're doing and educate them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drone dangers rising, FAA says

    Good point Marich, and as you're probably not the one that needs protecting from yourself it wouldn't be relevant to you. I'd sure like protecting from people that want to take their drone up to Over 1000ft just to see how high it can go when I'm flying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drone dangers rising, FAA says

    For me this is more protecting people from themselves, the biggest accident cause in the aviation industry is human factors. This isn't going to deter career criminals it's about creating guidelines so that the average person knows how to safely operate their equipment without causing injury or...
