<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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".<br>
<br>
4,000 feet is entirely possible and almost commonplace for many of
these
idiots.<br>
