You are still, as nature has pointed out, mischaracterizing myself and others.
Let me quote myself from this very thread for our audience...
Jul 27, 2015 - 01:15pm PT
Yesterday a DJI Inspire (ready to fly noob drone for photgraphers) flew over me in the federal wilderness. If I knew where the pilot was and got his name I would have reported him to my buddys at the FAA.
When you have lost the logical argument, in front of the audience and know it, mischaracterizing your opposition is a good tactic, used often by FOX news...
I hate drones in the wilderness, and I hate slack liners as well, so what? I also advocate for the coming drone revolution and industry. That doesn't mean I support idiots dingus...I support a tool, nothing more...this simple simple fact, seems lost on you...and I fear simple may be beyond your understanding...scary considering the weight your words hold in this tribe...lol F%#^^@ scary..

From Squishy's first 'intellectual' treatise:
Clear and secure rights to property—land, natural resources, and other goods and assets—are crucial to human prosperity. Most people lack such rights. That lack is in part a consequence of political and social breakdowns, and in part driven by informational deficits.
Uh, I fail to denote anything remotely 'intellectual' about that other than affected verbiage
rife with meaningless assumptions. So all those hungry people in Africa and Asia really
only need drones to free them from their "informational deficits"? Please.

I am not the author (i wrote the 1st one). But it does go on to read..
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, by virtue of their aerial perspective, are able to gather large amounts of information cheaply and efficiently, as can unpowered aerial platforms like kites and balloons.
That information, in the form of images, maps, and other environmental data, can be used by communities to improve the quality and character of their property rights. These same tools are also useful in other, related aspects of global development. Drone surveillance can help conservationists to protect endangered wildlife and aid scientists in understanding the changing climate; drone imagery can be used by advocates and analysts to document and deter human rights violations; UAVs can be used by first responders to search for lost people or to evaluate the extent of damage after natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes.

Explain for me how my post in another thread about cathedral peak slack lining is related to anything here in this thread?

No I'll let the gentle reader savor your words without editorial.
Talking to a perceived audience, classic you.

I love it...
You just decided to let the audience make up their own mind, and then in the next breath, discredited my statement that there is an audience, HAHAHAHAHA
I couldn't make this sh#t up...lol

oh that reminds me.. though I once again so no drones anywhere near our flight path we did take off with a large number of birds in front of us. it was my mad piloting skills that let us avoid them. Or it was their made birding skills that let them avoid us - either way - catastrophe avoided.
and c'mon squish... you know as well as i do it's only a matter of time before planes fall like flies and every one is being perv'd with loud upside down lawn mowers with tiny little cameras.

I was at Carlsbad beach this weekend.
Watched a drone crash into a lady on the head.
Her husband/ boyfriend stomped it out right there in front of 50 onlookers all cheering.
Drone dooch comes over and picks up the pieces.
He must have been a hobbyist, as no pilot would have let that happen, they are the pros after all.

Squishy, after reading your link, it looks like the anti-auto people were right!

Obviously more hysteria! That could never happen!

It happened!
He was landing or power failure or whatever you drone dorks do when you gotta put it down.
Right on the head.
I wish I had a pic of the remnants....

If it looked like a drone you can buy, then it was not a hobbyist...it was a noob with a toy...I frequently call them, The Phantom Menace...named after the DJI Phantom they most likely try to fly (the white smooth one). If you ever see one of those things, you already know the pilot is a noob and has no idea what he is doing, you should keep your friends and family far from those people...if you want a villain, blame the companies making ready to fly drones, and turning the hobby into industry...even dingus can go to Frys right now with 600 bucks and do the same thing...or fly it in front of an airliner just to come back in this thread to make me eat crow...but a hobbyist, they are different, they will build design and program their own drone, mostly because they can and they are way better drones...I guess knowing is have the battle and you guys are very face value oriented...not all drones are alike..not all pilots share the same experience or perspective. And that is punctuated with contrast in this time of revolutionary chaos..

Now I know the proper terminology.
Store bought white drone = Noob
Hobbyist = makes his own drone
Pilot = Commercial use like Nature
This looked like a bigger one, not "out of the box" but I have seen tons of those white ones all over the beaches.

difference is, I have been saying that from inside the "drone" community for 4 years (since before the RTF drones were released to the public)...and you are a charlatan with zero experience or perspective on the subject (safe for sitting as a passenger on too many planes)...talking like you know jack about it...to someone who does...that's my issue, not the subject at hand...but your piss poor attitude coupled with fear...it is a larger issue...for if you cannot educate yourself or at least be open to it, free from emotional or personal bias you have against me, then how valuable are any of your words on the subject? You may find, once you put that pile of false pride aside, that you and I agree on more things than we disagree on, and I bet that just rubs you wrong, so the audience gets a fun filled sh#t show...as I just sit back and point at the gorilla in the room..you are a sad emotional man dingus, ruled by pride and emotion, including fear..in this case you are more afraid of admitting I'm right, than of drones running into your jet engines...lol..

I prefer to myself as an operator and many in the industry do the same. Though I was out flying this morning and training in a Cessna - that's when I'm a pilot. Tonight when i finally get to huck another bird (had my face in the water crushing at the shootout ;-) all weekend). I might try and get up super early and go some place dark and quiet and film Perseids. I'll probably just set my camera on a tripod and go that route however.
The AMA got started in about 1936 - those guys are the true hobbyists. They wrote the book on ethical flying. You don't hear about them because well... they wrote the book and follow their own rules.
not sure what to call the guys that get an RTF and fly it around people in places they simply shouldn't. dooche and/or noob works. DJI also makes a slightly bigger model that is mostly black so it could have been that.
But even that grouping isn't really fair. I know a lot of guys doing commercial ops and they fly phantoms and they do it safely. It's a good platform for floating a gopro so long as you fly ethically.
There certainly is something to be said about building your own. I may one day by the 3DR Solo which is RTF as a GoPro platform. But to date I've built all my own and certainly believe that instills responsibility.
