Man confronts me about drone in public field

GPS LOGS AT END OF VIDEO

Model aircraft are not a crime. This is a public field. I was out testing my camera and gimbal settings on my quad and hexacopter. I fly here often, as do many others. It is a safe and wide open area to fly. Look at my other videos for a view of the field.

I have been involved in model aircraft for 20 years, am an officer in our club, and have taught as a flight instructor. Anyone that has flown with me knows I fly in a safe manner. I made a point to not go anywhere near the other people on the adjacent field.

Anyone that has a problem with my flying can come and talk with me about it. So long as they don't imply I am a pedophile it is likely to be a pleasant conversation.

I shoot with a gopro and Sony NEX5 with 16 mm lens. Not exactly spy material... I have the videos of my flight, but the GPS log tells the whole story.

Don't feed the "drone" paranoia. Model aircraft are a hobby, not a spy device.
