The Solo is the first quadcopter I have flown (many RC planes/cars/boats before). I have used it at a few events and have also showed it to some of my friends and neighbors.
Most folks think it's cool and are excited to see it. The problem is that far more people than I would have guessed have a very negative opinion of them. Most cite the Alabama shotgun incident where the person that shot it (while it was allegedly spying on his teenage daughter sunbathing in the back yard) was prosecuted, while the operator was not. Others fear that there will be many in the sky and there will never be outdoor privacy again. There are also passersby that give me the evil eye while I'm packing or unpacking.
Have any of you experienced this pushback?
