Enjoyed this interview very interested. Please excuse me for not staying within the guidelines of your presentation with Nick. The main reason is to get your thoughts and feedback on what's happening with the FAA and us. There have been too many mishaps with drones in the hands of people who have hard us all. I been flying RC helicopters 450 size scale including pod & boom birds for 10 years. Exceeded the AMA guidelines and have a strict protocol in my flying. Used to fly at 6am in the morning during the spring/summer in the school yard. Now I fly on my property only. My concern is it sounds like we have to register with the FAA period or fined if caught. Several RC Helicopter pilots friends feel the same and a little stress out looking over their shoulders. Some even thinking about leaving the hobby. Any information you can share would be most appreciated.
Nick, Sean, Got a question! My first real ride in a helicopter was at the age of ten. My Granddad worked for the power company here in Vermont. They sprayed the power lines from helicopter. Gramp got me a ride!! Fell in love with helicopter at that time!! The copter I rode in that day, was the Bell 47!! R/C helicopters where not even a concept back then!! But, I know that the Bell 47 has been made into an R/C!! My question is.....Where can I find one?? Century, use to sell them. There is also a German company....who's name eludes me!! Begins with a V!! But, there bird is huge!! And my pockets are no where near deep enough!! Would like to find a 600 size!! Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
