International Drone Day

[G_G]

I had the pleasure to call the FAA, upon reading your comment and here is their response. Just like I said, they frown upon it. If they catch you with a modified bird (doing something ilegal obviously) you will be fined.

First, only in three instances in the last 5 years have the FAA fined ANYONE in the United States for drone flying, so either you grossly misunderstood what you were told, or you are deliberately embellishing it. A phone call is worth the paper it is written on. Provide written proof, and stop doing illegal things!

I'm sorry it did not satisfy your wants and needs, but you know what, I'll take it back. Let your friends enjoy their drones as they wish. If something happens, I will read it in the paper and smile.

You clearly don't want to lose the debate, but won't bring anything new to the table, other than "bring me written proof". I can easily flip the coin and ask you to bring me proof that it is completely legal and safe, since you make it sound as you have a background as a lawyer or have lawyer friends.

As for how many have been fined by the FAA, here is a link of all of those that had been fined up to June 1, 2016. I haven't found anything newer yet.

The FAA Gave Us a List of Every Drone Pilot Who Has Ever Been Fined

The FAA fined the guy who crashed a drone at the White House, people who flew over sporting events, and two pilots who crashed their drones into the ocean in Puerto Rico.

Until then @Agustine please close this thread. It is my understanding we will not get anywhere here and it derailed the original purpose of this thread.

I am afraid the site NoLimitDrones has been discussed with the forums staff and we don’t condone the hacking of any firmware. A healthy discussion about what it does is fine but this has gone beyond healthy. It is time to move on and any further post about NoLimitDrones with be remove.
