Local quad "expert" asserts that there will be a series of major incidents worldwide using "drones" in the next 6 months.

CAA (NZ) says drone technology has outpaced its regulations and it needs to move with haste to get new rules in place to keep our air space both safe and under some sort of control.

What a jackass. The current model aircraft rules cover UAV use in New Zealand. Eg don't fly over people, over 120m high, beyond visual LOS, or within 4km of an airport.
