Got a QuadCopter? Person flies into whitehouse

[hamz9561]

And people wonder why I've been avoiding FPV stuff for my aircraft....

I'm guessing that the only thing that survived was the flash card from the camera and the guy that threw it on the floor of his car was not the same idiot that flew it into traffic. I hope he lost it permanently and the guy that found it posted the video.

With the smirk on his face...... it wasn't his.

Score one more for the good guys. (Said with a smirk)

The FAA announced its proposed commercial drone rules that EXCLUDE hobbyists and RC airplanes:

It's only a matter of time before this changes. It's the idiot so called "hobbyists" that are flying the quads into the white house, or into traffic like the video posted above. I'm not hearing commercial companies doing this with their quads.

Can I add a "yet" to that?

It looks like the Secret Service has decided that if it's good enough for a drunken NSA employee, it's good enough for them:

I love this part:
"The high-profile incident exposed a gap in security that the Secret Service has been trying to fix for years, the Post reported."
Really? how many years has the white house had a massive drone crashing problem?! lol

 

[hamz9561]

Not necessarily multi-rotor problem but for aircraft in general. Remember the Cessna that landed on the lawn of the Whitehouse?

 

[Greywolf74]

hey! just let me has my jokes ok?!

Damn. More stupidity...

it's these morons that's going to ruin things for the rest of us.

 

[HPIguy]

Going to? Based on the rulings last year, they already have. Idiots, and proof that the gene pool needs a dose of clorox from time to time.

Real intelligent. [Sarcasm] While we're at it why not ban cars, trucks, vans, full-sized aircraft, pressure cookers, utility knives, baseball bats, hammers and anything else that can be used to kill somebody with or transport drugs.

 

[hamz9561]

Why not add politicians to the list @Ron Olson?

 

[Ron Olson]

Those are really dangerous!!!!!

 

[Rolex]

If we are to stop ways of transporting guns or drugs, we'll also have to ban socks, bras, pockets, hats and underwear.
I'm guessing that more contraband has been moved that way than will EVER be moved by RC helis.
Um....forgot one for the prison residents....
Can't ban it so I guess we'll just glue it shut. Use a drone to carry in the super glue for all to share.

 

[Ron Olson]

I'm all for banning bras and panties, especially in dangerous places like the frozen foods areas of grocery stores!
