Sorry back on topic, I fear that this thread may have gone off topic because of me.

If i'm not mistaken I think that Joe Berk may have watched the video and commented that it was nicely done. I love how CSC is involved in the forums and monitoring their products. This gives me hope that the RX3 will go far and become a mainstream motorcycle.

But if one is then they all must be.

Not all motorcycle riders are in motorcycle gangs. But hey we got to deal with uninformed people everywhere we go.
To be clear, I'm not accusing you of anything inappropriate. I'm only stating that some rotten people have used drones for such things, and as a result, I can understand the temptation to shoot them down.

I'm fascinated by the whole FPV concept, and I hope you choose to start a thread about your RC stuff.

I agree. As well, Joe strikes me as a real gentleman.

I went off on a bit of a rant there, what I meant to say is 99% of people in the hobby use them the way they should be used but its that 1% that ruin it for everyone else. The 99% get the hostile backlash and the 1% continue doing crazy things.

My apologies Weldangrind

From what I have been hearing Quad Copters and possibly other RC aircraft will have to each be registered with the FAA come November. Glad I switched my full time hobby back to motorcycle riding. Hobbies getting regulated out of existence is very depressing, I am glad I have my RX3.

Another example of idiots creating an environment where rules must be formed. That sucks.
