"That is an awesome video, and yes explains everything i wish this all to be. But what it fails to address is small UAV's UAV's that weigh so little and are so small density wise that they themselves the FAA already claim they are airworthy as is. as…"
"Thing is and this is why it's all messed up, we fly a BOX that weighs 4 pounds, and it comes down via a parachute. be it a chute like this
or this
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ILLEGAL in either one of these chutes.
The illegal part is fly this…"

"The ONLY thing I can even remotely think of because it was not too long ago when an amateur could do these and do them legally. Because our group did fly some test vehicles for NASA and also did a flight for some guys that eventually went to work…"
"They all of the above concerns are also in far 101 on the free balloons side too, every one of the rules,
And directly from them the reason the weight and densities are stated as they are with the balloon systems is with those numbers there is…"

"and above 60K too is un controlled.. so release at 120K controlled, deploy small chute at 60K, OR,, hmmm, stop controlling and have trim set to either fly on in the desired direction or for circles till it's below 400 then take over he he he,,"
"Gary States,
"I think the primary distinction between your two examples is the predictability of your vehicle's behavior to a pilot operating in the NAS who has seen it and is trying to avoid it. Both the balloon and the parachute can be expected to…"

"Evening Shawn,
Joe here WB9SBD founder and mission director of Near Space Sciences, i am one of the three people that started all this Amateur radio based ballooning experiments, Over 20 years ago now.

It is quite amazing the mindset of the FAA when it comes to UAV operations. There is something desperately wrong here. I fully understand the need for air safety. And have absolutely no problems with that of course. But what i fail to see the logic…
