Amen... I've adopted the stealth strategy... I find out of the way, semi hidden places to operate from, away from my car. I'll search Google Earth for places just outside of State Parks, affording me direct line of sight (for telemetry range... not looking at the drone...it's pretty much out of sight in a flash). Today, I visited a unique PA site.... The Kinzu Bridge (Google Earth it!). This is a hundred plus year old railroad bridge (150' above the floor) that was partially destroyed by a tornado about 10 years ago. The remaining west half of the trestle was turned into PA State Park "skywalk." Of course, you can't fly your drone there.... So... I went in from the east side, thru some sketchy dirt roads to capture my footage... outside of the State Park and away from anybody wanting to F with me. It was a joy to fly 50' away, alongside this massive bridge, over the welcome center.... and there wasn't a flippin' thing some jerk was going to do about it. The max distance was 1/4 mile from my position, everything worked out fine. I will not be able to post any aerial video on You Tube...for obvious reasons... however, what a place to make a stealth mission into
