Welcome to Monday everyone.
Richard those UAVs are amazing. No doubt the FAA will make commercial use of them legal fairly soon. We heard a funny story about one. Some dude drove into town from out of state with his UAV (or drone) and was doing what a lot of folks are doing and just ignoring the laws and he was flying aerials for a local builder. A good gust of wind came up and he lost control of the drone and if flew away and he lost it. He looked for a while but could not find it. He then had to hire a local pilot and airplane to take him up and fly the job in the legal manner. So he drove into town, lost the UAV and the camera that was on it and had to hire a airplane & pilot to complete the job. Yea he made a lot of money. We heard the story from the pilot he had to hire.
Well it was funny to us, not so much for the owner of the drone. We charge $250 to fly a site like that anywhere in the metro area and we are 100% legal and have insurance to boot.
