Peter Meister replied to Rodolfo magnus's discussion Future of business using our drones":) yes and the mess will be big. I think what bothers me more is that this industry has the same potential a long with the Space Industry to be a great way to boost global economics.

"Haha, better analogy than genie... they are trying to push the the toothpaste back into the tube. The longer they try, the bigger the mess gets."
Peter Meister replied to Rodolfo magnus's discussion Future of business using our drones"You SIR have nailed it in the most laymen of terms. But the FAA none-the-less will continue to try to contain the Genie in the bottle, or at least push him back in for the time being until there friends are well established in the DoD contract side.…"

Doing this as a business is not "legal" according to the FAA, but at the same time, they really can't do anything to stop it other than writing angry letters. While it is not "legal", it is also not…"
Marty LaBelle replied to Rodolfo magnus's discussion Future of business using our drones"Rodolfo if your interested in business with gov/civil gov contact me privately, this is an inappropriate forum for that discussion.

Jake Stew replied to Rodolfo magnus's discussion Future of business using our drones"Only government organizations can fly at the moment. Military and universities mostly. Even the police have a hard time getting approval, and when they do get approval it is not what they're looking for. It's really not…"
Rodolfo magnus replied to Rodolfo magnus's discussion Future of business using our drones"Thank you Jake, your answer is very logical and helpful.
Now, if I want to offer services to police departments..... Do you think it would be too difficult to obrain certifications for that?
