Hi everyone,

I'm happy Chris started this thread. I'm particularly interested in the social implications of the use of drones in the arts, business, and other areas. Here's the link for the page:

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Avian research- I guess that goes under Science / research: the system at present is a "chain drag" two people dragging a chain to fluch birds, stop and then walk to where bird was flushed to detect & count eggs....destruction to unattended nests happens. We have been using a uav as a range mapping platform and IR to pick up heat signatures then plotting these "hot spots" to walk directly to to count nests & eggs....The use of these systems are going to explode once all the red-tape is figured out.    an off note...I dislike the RC/UAV connection. we work very hard to uphold safety standards, flight regulations and such, and 'others" simply strap a camera to a helo / plane and say they are doing the same thing without consideration to changing flight dynamics, weather conditions, or actual data collection.....I really apperc. DIY, and all who comment on all these issues....                       "Knowlege is Power"   School House Rocks
