Beautiful footage of, and around, the Seattle Space Needle has brought attention to the Seattle officials, who are now pushing for rules and regulations from the FAA. Using a DJI Phantom 2 and a GoPro camera, a pilot captured footage of the Seattle Space Needle that was remarkable, but also caused great concern.
Shortly after witnesses saw the DJI Phantom flying around the Space Needle a video posted from the pilots GoPro went viral. The video shows the flights take off and landing from a hotel room, allowing investigators to track the owner down.
Although this footage is amazing, this incident comes at a poor time with the FAA beginning to work on rules and regulations that could impose heavy regulations on RC flying.
