Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
Having served in the military, I can say without hesitation that I destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of government materials and equipment. In fact, their purpose was to do exactly that function, and do it well.. Drone what drone.. I didn't see no steenking drone mon..

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
The truly invasive drones operated by government agencies have an operational service ceiling of 12 to 25,000 feet altitude.. I humbly suggest the net gun would require over large explosive charge to launch a net to be effective. Jam it... The source of jamming signal should be easy enough to mask, for a truly ingenious electronics whizzz child.. I would think the large IQ pool here could come up with a jamming signal carried by a laser which had a very narrow beam path and would be even more hard to detect.. click, crash.. done..

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
While it's probably illegal to jam it, these are all operating on public unlicensed frequencies which have as their stipulation that they must not cause interference to licensed operations, and must accept any interference that they encounter. The digital codes that they employ are purposefully difficult to clone/intercept, so that will be difficult or very expensive to accomplish, if possible. However, Curt's low tech idea of netting it is the best, IMHO. A: - low tech, simple. Think Occam's razor. B: - the device is not hurt or destroyed, it is now more valuable to you. At the very least, you can sell it on eBay, but I like the idea of replacing the receiver with your own. Also think of the Amazon drones (who just got approval for testing from the FAA) - skeey with prizes. You wouldn't want to harm your prize would you? C: - Jamming, a lot of these are programmed to fly home to the point the flight originated if it looses contact with the controller - if you don't destroy the whole electronic system, it will just fly away.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
I did a 3 second calculation and ruled it out. I am quick. At least for copters, they require a lot of power, and the multi-copters have to be electric. It might work for a blimp/dirigible or a HALE (high-altitude long endurance) sailplane sort of thing, which this solar-powered plane sorta is. The main problem is putting humans on board, they cause all kinds of problems. Remote piloting technology is getting to where they are fairly unnecessary for a lot of what pilots do these days, esp on long-endurance or recon missions. Some years ago a guy I knew had a line on some surplus aircraft from A Government Agency that he was proposing to outfit with solar panels and batteries and use them to provide cell phone service in remote areas. These particular aircraft were HALE soaring planes that flew at 70k+ ft, above the weather, and a cell site equipment was small and light enough to fit in the aircraft but the power was the issue, I think he said they could get about 2 weeks out of the package before it would have to land and refuel so they would need at least 2 aircraft available in any given location. I don't know what ever happened to his idea, but I see it being proposed again now, like 20 years later, for use in Africa and such places. I think that was going to be his first target market as he had some experience in telephone stuff, and work with A Government Agency which gave him some contacts in the gummints there. I think Google is doing it maybe for internet service and voice too I guess. The technology of all the bits is likely much better now, would not be a huge engineering effort. --R On 3/18/15 11:26 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: Agreed but don't be so quick to rule out the concept of a solar powered drone.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
Especially with 4 motors and a camera. A former neighbor had an rc plane that ran on a battery and it did ok but with just one motor and some ability to glide, it would not use as much power. No camera either. RB On 17/03/2015 7:42 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: 10 minutes probably feels like a long time when you're doing it.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
You of course have the right to operated the drone but if it begins to infringe on my rights I have an equal right to react. Since I'm a nice person I'd start by asking you to stop, if you failed to stop you'd stop having a drone. Same thing as when you tailgate me. You have the right to tailgate but I have the right to drive really slow... -Curt From: Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes To: G Mann Cc: Mercedes Discussion List Sent: Monday, March 16, 2015 12:38 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble My right to own and operate a drone vs. your right to privacy?

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
So you have no problem with a civilian (non-gov't.) overflight or 24/7 aerial surveillance of your property? Or buzzing around outside your b/r window? And since you believe in Property Rights Uber Alles if you knock this thing out of the sky you will have to pay for it.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
Yes. Government does not ask permission before flying drones to spy on you, it is only equally fair we citizens would do the same. Who would you rather be stalked by, an ex girlfriend or a government agency with unlimited power and an armed drone? A quick read of the 10th Amendment of the Bill of Rights is suggested.

The commercial angle might just be an excuse to try and stop him without mentioning the real reasons which could relate to security of various sorts. A large drone can carry enough explosives to do serious damage according to one article. Seems to be lots of government concern about drones in general with several states enacting laws regulating them. The government is running tests around the White House and DC trying to find ways to disrupt their communication and Florida is doing the following: http://www.bing.com/search?q=drone+laws+florida&qs=AS&sk=AS4&pq=drone+laws&sc=8-10&sp=5&cvid=c5c3a53824b74e74aa438983b6c5a6cf&FORM=QBLH&ghc=1 or search: "drone laws florida" If he really wanted to test his "drone rights" he could take his drone up north of Tampa a few miles and take pictures around the large nudist camp, or down to Boca Grande and take pictures of the Rockefellers and other rich folks around their enclaves.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
I can only assume that someone ratted the guy out. I'll say that from my distant observations (I don't work directly with him, but I know people who do) that the guy has a reputation for being a dick. This, no doubt, was probably the motivation for someone ratting on him. That being said, it's probably prudent just to stand down and leave it at that rather than poking the bear. While I have no doubt there are plenty of ACLU and other lawyers who would take this on, pissing off the government is never a good idea in my book. They tend to make your life miserable for a long, long time, regardless of the outcome. I think he said something in one of the many local TV interviews to the effect that he wasn't doing anything wrong, and would continue to run his drone and post videos until they came after him. That's not smart if you ask me, but knowing what I do about him, I'm not surprised.

Re: [MBZ] OT - My Drone Buddy Gets into Trouble
And the FAA was alerted to his drone flying how Seems that someone had to make a call to the FAA to even wake them up to the use of the drone. Despite our feeling like government is watching our every move these days, there are many more of "us" than "them" so unless he ran naked to the FAA with his hair on fire screaming "hijack or bomb" it seems unlikely that agency even knew his drone flew.
