when I was gluing that balsa wood together I had no idea I was making a drone!

planes. B-17's, Hellcats, f-100s and all kinds of planes were radio controlled drones. I saw them at Edwards and at China Lake. Nothing new calling radio controlled planes drones.

yes - I take Paypal

The quad-copters and whatnot aren't exactly airplanes, so...

was flying a drone over the shore filming themselves and other things. Seems when ever they stop somewhere out comes the drone and it is their way of filming their vacation.
It is a bit annoying because there are groups of people around and this thing had 4 helicopter type rotors on it. If it got out of control I could see it hitting people and inflicting cutting type wounds. There is no permit required and I guess you just practice with it until you feel confident to fly it around where ever.
I don't like being around them .

A German citizen who crashed a drone into a lake in Yellowstone National Park this summer was banned from the park for a year and was ordered to pay $1,600 in fines and restitution.

Andreas Meissner, of Koenigswinter, Germany, was charged after a drone he was using to shoot video of a charity bicycle ride through the park crashed near the Great Village Marina on Yellowstone Lake in July.

Meissner, 37, appeared via telephone in a federal courtroom in the park Sept. 17 and pleaded guilty to violating the ban on drones, filming without a permit and leaving property unattended. Meissner's sentence included a year of unsupervised probation.

The park service issued a nationwide ban on drones in national parks June 20.
