davelepka 4 #5 December 31, 2012 That's a tough one. Destruction of property is one thing, and invasion of privacy is another. The people in the protest group knew what they were doing, and that the purpose of their flight was not 'friendly'. The people in the gun club had no way of knowing the purpose of the flight, or if the drone was armed or presented a threat. End result - a 'clean' shoot for the gun club. It was a reasonable action given the circumstances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 3 #6 December 31, 2012 Find a guy that knows how to build an RF jammer. Something low power so you don't piss the FCC off, with a highly directional antenna should give you the nice focused beam to push low power and a high concentration. Get a spectrum analyzer out and get the frequency the quad is using. Jam the fuck out of it. (or adapt another controller to take control of it). Should give those guys a clear message without causing any substantial damages.

theonlyski 3 #8 December 31, 2012 Quote Yep. Then sue them for trespass. Or just happen to cut down a tree not noticing that the drone has crashed in the tree's path. Sorry dude, just trying to get some fire wood.

wolfriverjoe 1,340 #9 December 31, 2012 Quote Yep. Then sue them for trespass. There's also rules for R/C aircraft that include having the operator keep the aircraft in sight. If the operator is using onboard video and flies out of sight of the operator (or an assistant), then there are some FARs being violated."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
