that one was kind of a yawner.

I found this one much more interesting. Once again - wild fires and drones in the news.

The Beast just got new 15" carbon props and some new bricks. Hoping to get 45 minutes of flight time. Just converted a GoPro to NIR and am ordering the FLIR next week.

This is what you should be worrying about instead of a drone with a gopro!

Airplane pilot hears something, lands and reports a drone sighting to the FAA. Goes home to post and boast in the anti-drone thread...even speaks publicly about never seeing it, yet proud he's turning in those evil drone pilots...FAA investigates, finds it was a bird, forums and posts all deleted and pilots finally coming under the scrutiny they need for starting all this drone hate, that some here have drank by the tank load..

I worked with plane pilots and drone operators to break the story. The reports you see in the media and even the official drone reports and sightings near full scale airplanes are padded stats done with intent by people who fear the future.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will investigate a drone accident that injured an 11-month-old girl in the head when it crashed last weekend on a Pasadena street.

Authorities said the baby was being pushed in a stroller by her mother when she was hit with debris from a small, privately-owned drone that came down on Marengo Avenue near Union Street about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

The baby suffered a large contusion on her forehead and a small cut to the side of her head, according to police. She was treated at a hospital and released.
