And THIS is the reason why "laws" are ineffective. While all of this B.S. is going on, there are "law-abiding" AMA members working with the FAA to create legislation, reporting their flying sight GPS coordinates to the FAA, having their yearly "talk" with the FBI (as a club president I have to talk to an FBI agent and report that I haven't seen ANY type of "suspicious" activity at my flying field during the year). Limiting their flight ceiling, observing NOTAMs, not flying when the airspace is restricted, etc, etc. Laws only affect the people who are honest and would probably not cause any trouble anyway because they have COMMON SENSE. Meanwhile ignorant idiots just do whatever they want to - regardless of "laws" and "restrictions".  Without enforcement, laws are almost meaningless. Let's NOT talk about gun laws - but the same thing applies. Sad but true.

It is very common for smaller UAS opertors, like those who operate the DJI Phantom quads, to illegally modify their antennas in order to fly at greater distances and alitudes than the stock equipment would allow. A company named "Flytrex" gives them that ability to log their flights and post on line for "awards".

4,000 feet is entirely possible and almost commonplace for many of these idiots.

I just saw a commercial on Fox News promoting an upcoming Gretchen Carlson show where she asks the question why do drones fly as high as 5000 ft?

I wouldn't think the run of the mill quad copter could fly that high but I have no idea.

Not to mention you couldn't see it at that height.

Food for thought.

Thanks
