Drones in Suburbia

[macca]

What I can't understand with this thread is, from what is reported here it is illegal to fly a drone within 30 metres of a house so the person flying the drone was breaking the law,  doesnt that make him a knob or whatever else he has been called  here and isn't that the end of the story.

Actually surprising to know then that Australia's CASA is actually one of the strictist governing bodies worldwide of drone operations compared to America's FAA etc. Considering the advancement of drone technology though, it does still have a long way to go.

So you like scones too?

[oldmate]

Oh and none of it matters, as in 14 days from now your will have bigger things to worry about. Yes that's right people, forget drones, it's flying delorions.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Hmmm, Marschy and stiffbreeze do bring  to the table, some valid and compelling information to consider.

1  -   2 -   3 (that's me thinking)  nah, i'd still do my best to drop it to the ground and smash the crap out of it.

And hey, even if it means a get a smack in the head for my efforts, then so be it.

Win, lose or draw, the drone user will know he's been in a scuffle when we're done too. 

[Marschy]

30 metres is misleading. It is a non-regulated guideline put out there by CASA and echoed by the MAAA but not mentioned anywhere in the actual regulations. Same goes with height and flying at night. You can do both with the appropriate approval/certification.

And your not invited to the next flying funanza Jeepers. I have Parkinsons Disease and I'll still give my possessions the protection I believe they deserve. Hero

[stiffbreeze]

Jeepers, had to laugh when i read your post when I realised at least you can count!

I may be a drone operator but I can guarantee that if someone breaks my +$2000 business drone, the law will be on my side when I sue.

And I can hold my own. I may be a girl but I learnt a few things playing ice hockey....braking not being one of those things. ?

Marschy knows his Shit re regulations. If we have approval to be at a certain height, we can.

I guess one could always claim they thought they were being invaded by aliens and they were just defending the planet.

"Marschy knows his Shit re regulations. If we have approval to be at a certain height, we can."

A little bit like pushbike riders and the two abreast thing.

Look, If they're being flown with common sense, all is good.


If its hovering next to my house as Robbo mentioned, its coming down if I can get at it.

This is really eye opening "If you don't do things my way, your teddy bear goes on the fire" scary sort of sh!t.

No Marschy, not doing things my way, just stay out of my yard and away from my house.

So, you twist it how ya like and do what ya want to your own teddy bear..... i'm done on the topic.

Probably not your teddy bear, but if one of your drones starts hovering around in my yard without my permission, it definitely will. In small pieces.

[Moggy]

Might be best just to moon it.
If its that close & got a camera, trying to focus on some swaggers black hole will probably fry the circuits or the shock will cause operator to crash & burn :-) :-).

I can assure any myswagger, that if I am flying my quadcopter in proximity to any other myswagger property that they will be asked before hand if they have any objections. But if I am flying in public space within the confines of the law and regulations, I'll do as I please.

And that's the point. No one will have an issue with that. OP had a quad copter in his backyard at head height. Private property without permission.

One of these would be fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjG1n9FEDb0

Things get a bit like Chinese whispers here. OP actually says frontyard at roof height.

Jeepers , let's turn this into a bicycle thread.

8-10 metres away, now in my suburb that would put the quad copter on the median strip or the road.

[Fizzie]

It's a mine field that's for sure.

Hey Robbo, sorry mate but a mine field won't work against the buzzy thing (unless it lands in your yard), you definitely need anti-aircraft for that 

The mine field in the front yard would go a long way towards protecting your CT & Staffy, but it may just be taken as being a bit extreme 

[scarpsD40]

who the hell would want to take snapshots of any of you ugly bastards anyway.

lol......given the control range of the non military units, maybe one of the neighbours wives thinks he's hot?

Like others have said, I'd just moon it. Might get me viral on social media

[Swannie]

I love Scones......

ok, moon it while eating a scone
