I arrived at my job site Sunday Morning to do my mapping and video. The next thing I know is a ducted fan F4 Phantom is flying where I''m suppose to be mapping. Those things are darn fast. I went over to ask these guys if they had permission to fly over the campus and job site, (I knew they didn't but wanted to be nice), the guy with the F4 got in a hurry to land and he hit one of the light pols, the pole won. It was sad to see such a beautiful plane get broke up.
Well it goes without saying they weren't suppose to be there, and they knew it because as soon as they found out I worked at the job site and my purpose for being there the packed up and left.
So what is the point to this story, fly where you are suppose to. These guys were overflying the college and the job site so they were way off base. One thing though, those ducted fan RC planes are fast and could be a real threat to a drone that was flying autonomously.
