Know Before You Fly - Great Drone Legal and Information Resource

Know Before You Fly!

A great resource for drone legal and industry news 

 



Know Before You Fly is an education campaign founded by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), and the Small UAV Coalition in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to educate prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).
As excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow around UAS, and the regulatory framework continues to take shape, more consumers are looking to buy UAS for personal use and more businesses are looking to use UAS too. These prospective operators want to fly, and fly safely, but many don’t realize that, just because you can buy a UAS, doesn’t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. Know Before You Fly provides prospective users with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly.

Amazing Indoor 1/22 Airbus A310 Flying Demonstration

Airbus A310 designed, built and controlled by Martin Müller.
All flaps, spoiler and gear in working order just like the original!

 

This is a fantastic display of creativity and pilot skills! It doesn't appear this model is on strings but it flies so slow it might possibly be filled with helium. What do you think?

Black Friday Advertising... With Drones!



When trying to compete in a flooded market, it sometimes pays to be creative. One Brazil company decided to compete with a unique advertising method. Flying mannequins. Why drones flying mannequins? To fly outside the windows of business executive males who have little time to go to the stores themselves. They definitely are bringing a new meaning to the term "window shopping".
