It would be a shame if your toy copter got caught in the downdraft from the firefighters full size copter. Although in this video it looks like the drone was flying above the coast guard helicopter when it got sucked down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzyNtqiKIDw

You would have to jam GPS as well, since most will fly home if they lose WiFi contact. Unless you deauth the pilot’s WiFi and take control of the drone.

I want to see one in action from a scientific point of view. I know I have enough stuff in batcave to make one. Simple jammer is to connect several APs with 40 or 80Mhz channels and cause intentional loop back. Or video transmitter with larger antenna. I have done both as demonstration to Physics class students when I worked at Tornillo ISD to talk about Faraday cage and RF signal behavior.

Another community north of there is completely in the dark due to the fires to the south... no phone lines, no power, not even cell. Logistically, there's nothing we can do for this community right now either. Reports indicate the power company is setting up a generator. 30 homes were lost in Rock Creek so far, and then there's an effin' idiot flying a drone which has caused the air support for the fire to be grounded yesterday.
