Gotcha. Y'know...there is a stretch of road between my place and the highway where no one else drives (I own the only house out there). I'm very tempted to take my car down the decently paved road, at speeds of over 120mph. I'm pretty sure it's safe/ok, because no one else lives on the road, there is no one ever on the road, and the only place it leads is to my house and a canyon a quarter mile behind my place. Except in those moments where there are people on the road. And I've yet to meet a tire that won't ever blow.
I realize your remoteness possibly provides a sense of security and that "nothing will happen to you" because of it. Everyone wants to feel they're special (including me).
The reason we have the aviation rules we have is because people have died or incurred serious injury in the past, which has led to the rules. Old pilots will tell you the FARs are written in blood. Dramatic, maybe. I pray to whatever that we never have UAV rules "written in blood."
If you want to fly at night, I suggest you earn your 333 exemption, file a 7711, and do it legally. Then you don't put yourself, others, and our infant industry in a bad place. Or buy a remote island that isn't governed by the rules of the United States of America.
Otherwise, you're just another one of those uneducated, wanna-be stick jockeys contributing to the mess we're all experiencing right now.[/
