This video was from China where as you could imagine there is not law for drones like in the US.Moderators should delete this thread as it promotes irresponsible behavior on the part of drone owners. This simply contributes to the bad reputation much of the public has of us.
To put this in current phraseology: “That is why we can’t have good things.”
NB
Are you kidding me? General Rules for Flying a Drone in ChinaThis video was from China where as you could imagine there is not law for drones like in the US.
Still doesn't matter. It encourages behaviour that has negative implications for all drone pilots.This video was from China where as you could imagine there is not law for drones like in the US.
It could but everyone know that the guy on the video is flying illegally. This is just to show how capable the spark can be with a mod on the controller.Still doesn't matter. It encourages behaviour that has negative implications for all drone pilots.
No it proves nothing about the "Spark". The Spark cannot go up 5kms and descend safely to ground without the battery draining mid-flight.This is just to show how capable the spark can be with a mod on the controller.
It's not only a mod on the controller.It could but everyone know that the guy on the video is flying illegally. This is just to show how capable the spark can be with a mod on the controller.
Totally agee it's these individuals that could cause drones to be banned they should be reported having a Spark and a mavic platinum I have never gone higher than 400 feet tut tut. Irvine (Portsmouth UK )Meaningless and dangerous! Call me hater or whatever... such videos should be deleted and the corresponding pilot accused.
I personally doubt that the Chinese authorities will be prosecuting the guy on the video. I could be wrong.I think the general consensus (a bit of a tortology ) is it's stuff like this that causes crippling constrictions. And China quite rightly has very similar laws to any other country, probably enforced with some vigour.
You may be right, however they are famously draconian in enforcing laws regarding crimes against the state. I think endangering air traffic would fall into that category.I personally doubt that the Chinese authorities will be prosecuting the guy on the video. I could be wrong.

That has been explained in post #16 (quoted below).Crazy... what if it crashed back to Earth though?
Very good explanation. Any object falling from height is dangerous. This is the reason why drone regulations of all countries specifically put a cap on the maximum altitude we should fly at. However regarding distance, there is never a clear cut limit. Almost all of them only say - Fly in VLOS.I looked on the internet, you know the place you can find anything, I found the Splat calculator at anglo.net/personal . My thinking is I have had a battery disconnect in flight, what if the battery disconnected at 5,000 meters and it? The Splat Calculator determined the battery velocity would be about 700 mph at impact, time to drop is 32 seconds with an impact energy of 122500 joules. I looked up to find the comparative joules. An F1 grenade produces 252kj so it is basically half as powerful as a grenade. Explain that to your parents when it hits the house. Luckliy I would never do this and I'm old enough to not have to explain anything to my parents. However, now that I researched grenades on the internet, others maybe interested in me

Just shows that I am terribly out of touch with Physics, although it used to be my favourite subject. Sigh!In real world, every object falling in the AIR, reaches a maximum speed (terminal velocity) and stops accelerating any more.
