>>1476061>What I am wondering is about the etiquette as far as recreational use goes.See my point about any jackass being able to buy one. There are some rec groups that have flight rules and are closer to model aircraft and rocketry clubs that are well run but you don't have to join one of these.
>Is there an altitude that drones can fly at where they won't bother anyone?Once they hit a certain altitude (few hundred feet I think) the FAA steps but lower they are treated like model aircraft. Not many restrictions on what can be done where, as long as you don't "disturb the peace."
>How can you make sure you're not ruining the atmosphere.You can't without a serious ammount of policing that would be practically impossible to do from a legal standpoint. You could make it a requirement that a club must be joined before you can buy one but I doubt that would work.
>Nothing kills the feeling of being in the wild more than some high tech gizmo zipping overhead. (I have a love-hate feeling about drones)I get it when photographers hike out with their stuff to get better photos, but there are some annoying fucks out there.
