It might just be me... but I cannot see a problem with flying these.... I once piloted a Cessna over the temple of doom, obv at minimum height, and they weigh a few kilos, and I was only a novice.....

 

Did it cause a nuisance? I suspect not....

 

Live and let live

i think the question is did they have permission? notts joe mentioned this.

i doubt the football league would clear the use of this and although no danger occurred, if its the same person from the serbian game. he should be banned from doing it again with the uk!

I think for me, the fact nobody seems to know about it makes it difficult and dangerous.

The faith is in the controller, yet there are a lot of things to factor in. Yes, I did say I doubted they had clearance for this but I do think it's interesting. I spoke to Cheeky as walked around Goose Fair, the person with the YouTube channel seems obsessed with exposure and I have to say, if he had took his time he might not have been noticed.

I subscribed to his channel and an upload appeared of it flying over the motorway just about 5-10 minutes from house. Plenty of angry complaints and I am not surprised to read this or see that video pulled.

My point is it needs to be a safe location, people should be in the know and then it reduces problems.

I do not think it is a major problem but if something needs clearence, it should be done the correct way.

I cant say if this has or hasn't.

I agree, and similarly with the google mapping, flying near schools should definitely be out...

I wouldn't want one flying over our house without permission.These posts showing views from on high are very impressive and interesting but what about privacy.

[super_ram]

The safety and security aspect is the only problem for me.Doing in the right way and with permission from all being spied on needs sorting.

At least with google they are forced to apply with law and you can have yourself removed.

I see a Nottingham man has been arrested at Manchester City's ground, I wonder if it's the same bloke who flew the drone over Notts match?
