Someone flew on the football field with a DJI Phantom, with a national flag attached to it. One of the footballers managed to catch the flag. Take a look at the situation. What do you think about it? Will it have an impact on our community?

Very troubling because the elitists that run the world will make political moves to attack private UAV operators.

By reading the comments, it just feels like the collective subconsciousness of UAV owners is craving for banning of their hobbie (and inviting the "accidens that will get worse and increase in numbers"). Look, noone forces people to register a kitchen knife, while it could well serve as a murder weapon. Just quit fearing and do your lovely thing, believe in and show support for common sense, and if someone tries to violate it - resist, don't lose heart. Yes, the common sense is under attack these insane days, but it's only because people give up in advance, letting it happen.
in Germany there were no problems. We have then also won

Albanians live in Albania, in Kosovo live Siptari.
Stupid Siptari !!!
What a one stupid does, no clever can not fix!
Stupid šiptari want to get the pussy!
This is dangerous because the wind resistance load along the string that carry the flag causes too much load stress to the motor and esc. You can see the phantom is struggling to keep the flight stable. If it were to hold on that way for longer period it will "brown out" or overheating the ESC causing it to crash. If it were using IOSD with amp sensor i'm sure the pilot will notice spike of overloading current value going up on the screen.
I don't think it was manned by professional other than joe public. Bad for our hobby.
in this year these Albanian stupid pilot trying to saw all of us how the use the quadcopters /uav s ..the trying to pass things to jails with QRX 350 pro ...phones and sim cards ...and now they tryied to look us how stupids they are with a flag who saws the big Albania..stupid people..the is the negative side of the use ...I hope to sto here because this is not good for all of us that make research about this ..
This is probably the most stupid drone pilot ever....
And here we go...

They're going to ask about electronic, physical countermeasures and industry-placed safeguards in the software patches.
Electronic countermeasures have been demonstrated: Drone hacking drones - http://hak5.org/episodes/hak5-1518
Physical -safe- countermeasures? I don't know, a net throwing shotgun?
Industry has already made some steps: DJI has sent patches with restrictions near airports that get tighter the closer to any given airport in it's gps airport list.
Our hobby really takes skill to execute and responsibility to maintain.
If the hobby was still something that required skill to assemble from parts, we would see far fewer amateurs crashing about where they shouldn't be.
Back in the day cars first arrived, there were -brief- crazy laws like the one were someone had to go ahead of the car and wave flags warning everyone it was coming down the road and there was no real system of traffic lights.
I'm all for the industry, but they really ought to have more foresight and put the safety in their BNF craft. They know very well their putting these things in the hands of kids and idiots.
If I had to put down money, I would say, we're going to see a licensing and testing system for flying our craft, just as with cars, motorcycles, real-planes and guns.
The situation above didn't have to happen with a drone, but it did make it easier. So now we're going to see copy-cats and ever more 'creative' uses.
