[QUOTE="IanSR, post: 58144, member: 10446"] You don't need to do that, just grab the spark while it hovers in front of you and turn it sideways, the props will turn off automatically. I like the thinking here, but generally that's the kind of questions that will get you into trouble anyway, a fire officer came round yesterday and complained about a bucket I had outside my front door (off to one side, not directly) and said it had to be moved because it was a trip hazard and if the house was on fire and thick black smoke was in that area I might not see it and trip over it. When I pointed out that if the smoke was so thick that I couldn't see an item directly in front of me, then I had a lot more to worry about than tripping over a bucket, and was in all likelyhood, dead long before reaching said bucket, I was told "don't be ******* obstinate, that is the rule your landlord has now move the bucket or you'll be evicted". The same kind of mentality is what is writing drone regulations worldwide, even if you drive a bus through the loopholes, you'll still be in the wrong, so give up trying to find loopholes now (and just seek forgiveness, much easier) and either don't update your safe flying database (if you are in a fly zone now that may be reclassified later) or just ignore it completely and install the NFZ firmware that is available. Either that or just by a Parot and fly wherever you want. [/QUOTE]
