"R_Lefebvre -- my vote is 'before'.
And, really, the arguing of technicalities is all besides the point. Far more important to the future of this hobby is this: there is no entity of any consequence that has a vested interest in its…"

Brent Crude commented on Matthew Beck's blog post Pilot Spots Possible Drone 1,500 Feet Above NYC's JFK Airport... FAA launches investigation"Charles -- those restrictions are only in the circular. As Patrick pointed out, it's a pretty weak document but it's taken on a life of its own.
Patrick -- the 'endangering national airspace' provision seems like a backstop that…"
Brent Crude commented on Matthew Beck's blog post Pilot Spots Possible Drone 1,500 Feet Above NYC's JFK Airport... FAA launches investigation"Sgt Ric -- there's a nuance here in this discussion as a result of the vast grey area of regulation of these activities that others have picked up on above; namely that there's a difference between ILlegal and 'not legal', which…"
Brent Crude commented on Matthew Beck's blog post Pilot Spots Possible Drone 1,500 Feet Above NYC's JFK Airport... FAA launches investigation"Also, to all the stuff about people flying legally (especially the aerial camera operators): it's all a lie. It's not legal to fly for commercial services in the United States, and it's not legal to fly a "remotely-piloted…"
Brent Crude commented on Matthew Beck's blog post Pilot Spots Possible Drone 1,500 Feet Above NYC's JFK Airport... FAA launches investigation"Patrick: I agree with your understanding of the "circular" nuance, and have read all the FAA docs myself. In fact, it's rather amusing just how low-fi this governing 'circular' is -- basically a memo dashed off by an FAA…"
Brent Crude commented on brett binnekade's blog post Drones threaten RC model flying"Matthew -- yes, that's exactly what I was getting at. There are those in this community who advocate embracing the 'drone' moniker and to simply go with the media tide. By and large, these are people who are heavily invested in the…"
Brent Crude commented on brett binnekade's blog post Drones threaten RC model flying"Hey Matthew -- I want to sincerely apologize. My post was too harsh and I didn't mean to malign you or the good ideas you've had and will continue to have. I just feel passionately about this field, and I want to see people taking actions…"
Brent Crude commented on brett binnekade's blog post Drones threaten RC model flying"Matthew, you are absolutely correct -- the decision-making on this point is about branding and PR. And you are absolutely incorrect about what your proposal is to effect these ends.
Firstly, I think you've misunderstood my point, or at least…"
Brent Crude commented on brett binnekade's blog post Drones threaten RC model flying"Guys -- there is no chance the word 'drone' will morph. No chance. 100,000 hobbyists screaming in perfect unison doesn't even make up 1/100th of an evening news story on a shady 'drone' strike in Yemen. "Owning"…"
Brent Crude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Time Magazine cover (with invited piece by me)"Guys: everyone agrees that this industry/hobby/field has a _huge_ image problem. And I like the discussion here about the need to rectify that.
But many of you are really missing the forest for the trees. If you use the word 'drone', you…"
Brent Crude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "The Private Drone Industry is Like Apple in 1984""@Bret
It's not as crazy as it sounds though. Think about this from an FAA perspective: craft needs to be standardized and licensed for airworthiness, repair and maintenance needs to be routine, and communication in the larger airspace ecosystem…"
Brent Crude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "The Private Drone Industry is Like Apple in 1984""Also, to your previous comment-- the patent threat to SteadiDrone is not credible and would be immediately thrown out if challenged. The owner of that patent logged into these forums in order to issue a legal threat and was immediately drowned out…"
Brent Crude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "The Private Drone Industry is Like Apple in 1984""Dennis, given sufficient visible commercial and social value, society will strike a balance of permission and restraint. The real issue is how that value is demonstrated -now-, in order to elicit the balanced consideration it requires. The problem…"
Brent Crude commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "The Private Drone Industry is Like Apple in 1984""Here's the thing that makes this very, very different from PCs, or CB radios, or whatever wonderfully optimistic analogy you want to throw around: these platforms are mobile, and they carry huge privacy concerns and can be easily converted to…"
Brent Crude replied to Hungarian Association for RC an's discussion Banned aerial photography in Hungary! new law in preparation"This is going to be the future worldwide. Basically, the party's going to be over very soon with everybody being able to fly devices over property they don't own and take photos of people/property without their permission.
It's sad,…"

I love what I call "hard-core" mathematics. Its what I am all about. Take a look at this paper, for example. I suspect that you have looked at some of my discussions, but if not, here is a link to that.
Here is link to the MatrixPilot home page, and to the main users group.
Best regards,
