Another nail in the coffin

BTW Andy (asutchy) I know it must be a pain hearing folk cite the Phantom as the devil incarnate, but that';s how folk are, they generalise, have to have a focus for their angst.

I wouldn';t leave the forum because of the ignorance of a minority.  It';s usually jealousy anyhow, and a bit freudian I might imagine too!    (bed-wetting springs to mind)

Instead of removing useful features, make the phantom in kit form only, that will stop many fools, as they will not want to build them before flying 

That is the best suggestions I';ve heard so far. It would indeed put the majority of idiots off but from a personal point of view, I would have loved to have built my Phantom 2 from scratch. In fact the first thing I did with mine was take the lid off to see what I was getting into.

The current problem is a mix of ignorance and blatant disregard on both sides, manufacturers and consumers. The likes of DJI and HobbyKing sell RTF like they do because it makes them money. They could push the regs more but that would lose customers. Some consumers want that quick fix for their latest gadget craving and DJI, Hobbyking and Amazon etc supply their fix no questions asked. Vicious circle.

I know this is sad TV... but not great PR for multicopters on Sky.

New episode of Hawaii Five-o has a weaponised "drone" terrorising the island killing people  :huh

I know it';s total fiction but doesn';t help with the public';s perception.

i know we don';t like the term DRONES   but what would you call the ones that use a app   it will fly the course you have marked out on a map take pictures and will come back to you.

I like the program, but, must admit to killing myself laughing at the "animated" Drone   lol
