Peter Klimon commented on Brendan Jacobs's blog post Like It or Not, Drone Licensing Is Coming
"Jeez man get a life! I think there are more important things in life to worry about. Always someone out there who just has to control others using bogus doom and gloom claims. I am particularly concerned with obvious drones users who actually by…"

Peter Klimon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post What do you do with a gun that shoots dead birds at jet engines? (shoot drones at them)
"Well will these engines withstand a medium size drone like a Solo or DJI Phantom? It's my understanding that there has not been a single reported incident of any size drone actually hitting any type of commercial or private aircraft? Is this…"

Peter Klimon commented on Christiaan van Vollenstee's blog post X-UAV at 2015 Beijing Expo
"What do these acronyms stand for? EPO and EPP and MFM? Is this some type of new styrafoam?"

Peter Klimon commented on Mielnikus's blog post First in World Flying Tank " B-Unstoppable"
"I have one question? Why would anyone want to drive somewhere instead of fly? This looks interesting but totally non-functional! Other than a kids toy what could this be used for?"

Peter Klimon commented on drnes's blog post Comparing Phantom 3 vs. Solo Drone
"I do not care how much better the Solo FC is, the price point is simply too high! They are shooting themselves in the foot with this pricing. At best it should be equal to the Phantom 3 with same features? The Phantom 3 price point will eventually…"

"jacekheli - Here is a link for the New BlackMagic Mini for multi-Rotors with exact dimensions on one of the specification pages. Awesome gimbal design. I will certainly buy one if they are for…"

Peter Klimon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How much damage would a small drone do to a jet engine?
"It never ceases to amaze me how so many people talk of Drones hitting planes when out of the the thousands of drone flights every day for the past 5 years not one single incident of a drone hitting a plane! Why don't you guys concentrate on…"

Peter Klimon commented on Eric Krasting's blog post Fox Business Network's drone coverage
"What good does LOS do you when your drone flies away uncontrollably? The whole FAA thing is an utter joke. I am so tired of this constant beating of the SAFETY drum. If we waited until drones were completely and utterly safe we would be waiting…"

Peter Klimon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post No drones at this year's Sparkfun AVC :-(
"What a stupid decision! Anybody with a modicum of common sense could figure various ways of safely flying in such events. I think some people are so paranoid they throw common sense out the window."

Peter Klimon replied to yugo's discussion What Freekin Motors To Buy???
"Buy cheap motors and you will get what you pay for! Really if you are serious then spend a few more bucks and get the best quality you can afford? Don't listen to those users who claim to get excellent results with $20-$30 motors. If you can afford…"

Peter Klimon commented on chrisa's blog post Heavy lifting VTOL technology, frames.
"Sorry guys but to be blunt "this design looks really stupid". What is so inherently wrong with existing CF tubes that requires such a bizarre design? I also have a hard time understanding how this can be called a heavy-lift design? I am not certain…"

Peter Klimon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post A clever design exercise in visualizing drone no-fly zones
"Typical control freaks! Always somebody trying to micromanage everything we do. I think this is absurd and totally impractical. Most people have common sense and would not fly if it endangered the public. There will of course be occasional accidents…"

Peter Klimon commented on bigkahuna's blog post I may have just witnessed the future of personal drones...not sure if I like it
"Gary McCray - 
Sorry but the FAA does not have any jurisdiction as you just described! You should get your facts straight before you spout such BS! You seem like a very wound up kind of person with statements such as: "The fact is that a lot of…"

"RE Scott Penrose -
I think you Ausie's have serious issues with total obedience to law and order! It's not enough that you totally decimated your citizens right to defend themselves with draconian gun laws you now advocate total control over drones?…"

Peter Klimon commented on bigkahuna's blog post I may have just witnessed the future of personal drones...not sure if I like it
"Although I do not condone flying recklessly directly over people I get a feeling from your description that you are over reacting. Did you bother to go over to this person and tell him you did not want him to fly over you and your family or to ask…"
