If they sucked a quadcopter into a jet engine on takeoff that would
thrash up their turbine blades.
I'm sure it's bound to happen somewhere eventually.

Also be aware that if you are within five miles of a towered airport
you need FAA wavers for flight in that area. I talked to a controller
the other day and he was not kidding in any way, dead serious about
prosecuting violators to the same level as they go after laser
flashers. Seems the FAA is on edge about the first aircraft to be
brought down by a drone. I thought it was a small probability but the
FAA seems to think otherwise..

For those of you considering using a Drone for commercial purposes, be
aware you probably need a commercial drone license. Like many other
things, you probably will never get caught if the flight is for
internal use, but the requirement still exists.
I'm currently slowly working on getting mine for various reasons.
Have been enjoying learning a bit more about our aeronautics system in
the USA. So far it doesn't seem like it's that difficult.

I was looking at the welds and mounting of that ring to hold all
that gear. I like overkill for structural integrity. I would have
more
larger feet bolted to the tank on all angles.
Just thinking about my poor tower guys cursing me after they
discover what they are hooked on to.

my contractor shot some drone pics on a site. other than the uber
sloppy cable this doesnt look as terrible as it is. will rebuild
it, but the drone footage and pics is crazy useful, the external

getting drone shots
