[QUOTE="shorttimer, post: 25743, member: 10"] I believe we all like the freedom of flight but I think as more and more incidents surface we might be looking at what they have in the EU. Remember when everyone were getting their Sparks and the ones in the EU found, that because of limited output power they could only fly like 300-400 meters with the remote. Although I hope not I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar here in the US. When I got my 1st drone a P3 Advanced it was like $1G and it seems like the people were a lot more responsible, partly maybe because the cost. Maybe not but it just seemed to me that way. Most took the time to learn, again, but not always, as they didn't want to lose that much money right out of the box. But with technology we usually always get more for cheaper as time goes on. And with all the safeguards built into place people use this as an excuse not to fully educate themselves about proper flying/etiquette. I mean all you have to do is read some of the posts in these forums. They paint them as beginner drones and coupled with the cost (I just bought my 2nd Spark Combo at Micro Center for $339) many people don't invest the time to educate themselves. I mean you can lose a $300-$400 drone and not lose a second of sleep. They just don't take it serious being up there. But maybe we have just as many irresponsible pilots, maybe it just surfaces more because of the large number of them there is getting to be coupled with the popularity of the sport. I live in the country and fly mostly around my acreage and I truly enjoy the freedom. But if something does come down where were are really crippled as to flying very far it would not surprise me in the least. [/QUOTE]
