[QUOTE="Miket, post: 109956, member: 11542"] I agree with everything that has been said about hacks to the firmware of our sparks, or any other bird. As an ex police officer I regard myself as a sensible law abiding citizen with a respect for rules and regulations. However, I have been retired for 20 years now, and I can see that the 'rules and regulations' brigade are really getting a bit silly. I love flying my spark, and I really do regard it as a bit of a 'toy', although a highly sophisticated one, which amazes me with its capabilities, and the photographic qualities. I dont want to fly at 50mph, or at 500 mtrs high. Or to fly in airspace which could be dangerous to aircraft or above a football stadium with 90,000 people in it. Etc. Etc. I am really worried for my hobby though. I am quite happy with the restrictions and rules as they stand today, but I am worried that the regulations are going to finish up preventing us from taking our birds to the sky at all, short of going to the middle of a desert region with no sign of life for miles, and even then we will be identified and watched in case we step out of line. Surely a certain amount of responsibility has to be left with us. Rules will not stop idiots doing stupid things. I have been reading about the NLD dronez software, and was worried about the claims. But, it will stir interest in that it takes away big brother controls and maybe some of the future restrictions that could take away all of the pleasures of our hobby. I do hope I am wrong! [/QUOTE]
