[QUOTE="Robert G, post: 17460, member: 2762"] Hotwire - I agree with what you say, but would add that new technology from steam trains to driverless cars basically frighten the general public. When escalators were introduced on the tube, they hat to get a chap with one leg to use it to assure people they would survive. Railway engineer s had to use medievil building design as a comforting facade for wary travellers. And so on. Most people at the model aero club I use pan lipo batteries, gyros etc simply because they don't want to admit they don't understand them. So what of quadcopters?( I can't/won't call them drones.) Of course as new technology they were very unreliable to start with, and that's the essence of it for me. I can wear anything more or less except a third party compensation claim. The media is most at fault as usual. Only wild hysterical mis reporting sells. If and when someone is saved by a blood delivery or mountain rescue things might improve. DJI is active here I think,but it's early days. Again as others say noise is our worst enemy as per model aircraft. A silent spark would go unnoticed. I can only dream of a situation where with the appropriate ticket and kit the National Trust and others allow allocated access for filming - for money of course! [/QUOTE]
