Our local paper wanted to encourage people to go to the lakes for Labor Day because of the nice weather (only 99) so they made a drone film of our sailboat club. Since it was to be a generic Kansas Lake ad they did not show the club house, I think it is nice. I apologize for the ad, you can skip it after a few seconds.

While I hate the concept of drones . . . . well done; pretty lake; and apparently some decent sized sailboats!

Curious why you hate the concept of drones?

How fast do they fly? Is it time to get the kids (or grandkids) some slingshots or BB guns?

They often hover, so they're sitting ducks, especially if the camera is pointing in another direction at the time!

I have been tempted but don't know the legal ramifications, I do know that I have NEVER seen any FAA registration numbers, such as NXXXX, regardless of larger or smaller.

I do have a friend who sails a J-40 who while sailing had one hit his main sail a couple years ago and then fall into Long Island Sound. He suspects it was a "toy"drone out of R/C communication range.

Earlier in the summer I saw a drone a couple times out in the middle of the lake when we were racing. I had no idea those things had such range. This one was probably close to half a mile from shore. I couldn't tell where the pilot was. He hovered and watched us for quite a while. It was a bit of a drifter of a race. We were all middle-aged dudes too, no nice looking ladies! Those are on the other boats with the younger guys. :(

the number would be very small. you'd only see it if it was right in front of you. The number is your remotely piloted aircraft license. I think the weight limit is 10 ounces or so. Applies to all R/C aircraft now.

I was sure impress with the drone clip of our club. I have thought drones are a godsend to power line companies and pipeline companies, ranchers and farmers. Here in Wichita drones would meet the fate of kites (of which there are few) our wind and trees would be a challenge for the casual drone pilot.
