re: #2 Indy GOP Refugee

I disagree given the kind of license they propose & the existing limitations that go with drone flights. Nothing over 55lb, line of sight control only, daytime only… 400 ft ceiling.

For the sake of comparative physics a 55 lb object free falling from 400 ft will strike whatever it falls on with well over the energy of a .50 caliber Browning machine gun round at the muzzle. A full on piloted aircraft license might be a bit much, but I definitely can see the argument for some kind of licensing before one is allowed to operate drones commercially.
