[QUOTE="MyLittleDrony, post: 14380, member: 2690"] No; your response exposes a flaw in your logic. I already said despite flying within legal distances my drone cut out its video/control feed before that because DJI was forced to retard its power output, even though, I was still flying within the allowed distance, the lack of transmission power means that for many people and places, the spark at present cannot be trusted, even when flying within legal distances. I had to fly so high because it helps with the transmission problem I was aware of. So if I am told I can fly 120m high and 400m out, and then my drone craps out in certain conditions at 175m out and 65m high, its a lottery, and that's not DJI's fault or mine, its the people pretending they are making this hobby safer who said you have to tone the power down, like its really going to cause a problem if it was a bit higher. The CAA or whoever have no problem allowing low flying jets over peoples heads at local airshows, that despite multiple accidents and engines full of flammable fuel that could kill 1000's, but my 350g drone makes them all scholars of law and safety all of a sudden. Its BS. And its why many people justifiably do not follow the rules. In this case, the rules are causing more harm than good. Maybe I should just hover 50m x 50m to be sure while these people approve a billion times more risky things, they are just abusing drone pilots because the industry is so young and they have all the power. They won't be happy until they screw over a really good hobby. [/QUOTE]
