Well, sometimes OT is interesting.  I  was at the park not long ago where 
there were a bunch of radio controlled  model airplanes.  Some are fairly 
large.  I don't know how high they  get, I don't think any of these were over 
perhaps a couple of hundred  feet.   Also, not long ago I was in Long Beach 
with a friend just  looking around.  I saw a wedding being photographed by 
means of a radio  controlled model helicopter.  Do any of these qualify as  
drones?   Does a drone have to be a full-sized aircraft?    You could do a lot 
of damage with with a model airplane.

Awesome.  Very cool (and scary). 
On  a side note, the videography company actually broke the law by doing 
this  (don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger!)  The FAA has banned the use  
of drones for commercial use until at least 2017 while they figure out what  
the laws should be.  Drones for home use are allowed but there are  
restrictions including that they cannot be flown higher than 500 feet  (clearly, 
this one was 1500 or more feet).  A commercial exemption can  be granted by 
the FAA but to date, only 33 (or something like that) have  been granted. AND 
the grant only allows you to fly as experimental aircraft  on only 6 
airfields in the US. So this guy did break the law, technically  speaking. The FAA 
has fined a small handful of people for doing  this. 
Europe  is much more progressive here and they have a permit process to 
allow  commercial drone use.

PS  This is WAY off topic, so if you have any questions about this, contact 
me  directly. Thanks you (and the list members will thank you  too!)
