Ok this got me concerned straight away so apologies for the long response...
Understand people's concern about privacy and yes there's a lot of idiots out there who operates drones (and cars, motorbikes, jet skis like others have mentioned) and set a bad stereotype example, but there are also great operators too!
For us drone operators who want to do the right thing and learn the rules as a hobbiest, or go pro and get our casa licence so we register flight plans and legally fly where we need to do our work, it's scary how many people are willing to take matters into their own hands and smash/destroy our business property without getting their facts right first, and sadly sometimes threads like this encourage that kind of behaviour when people don't self educate.
Legally if we are allowed to be there and can prove height and gps coordinates as per flight plan lodged with casa, we can and will sue for damages to our craft and loss of income etc. Interesting hey?
Have I opened up a can of worms again? Probably. Will this generate more kill and destroy responses? Probably. But I like the responses about the scones better.
Robbo - sounds crap that someone is flying on your property without permission and totally agree that finding the operator and talking to them is the best policy to ensure it doesn't happen again. Flying so close to the house ain't cool and something I don't condone.
At the end of the day, I would hate for our professional drone to be destroyed by some moron who chose to act and destroy our property, when we had every right to be there in the first place.
Just another voice/opinion to consider.
Ok cheers.
