[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 61412, member: 6411"] Certainly if you are in urban or semi-urban areas, double extra care should be taken, even out in the country, I still have a look at [URL='http://flightradar24.com']FlightRadar24[/URL]'s app to see whats overhead. If you are interested in flight paths in your area (and you should be if you fly drones) this is a great site....

I hate to be an old crank, but we as a community need to self police and call out those who take stupid risks.... I have done so here and some other forums. Sure we aint saints, a bent rule here or there is okay as long as its not in aid of something like the first post in this topic... amazing the drone didn't get sucked into that bird's props.
