Anyone who has an AMA license is not allowed to fly a drone by video feed unless a buddy box is used and the model is within site flying distance at all times.
I'd imagine that AMA licenses will get a lot more expensive in the coming years.
I have been flying r/c airplanes for probably 30 years now. Never in my life did I imagine the hobby would take this turn. I don't know where some get their info, but I have seen FPV flights in excess of 15 miles, with hobby grade equipment.
It is nothing different than if a person flies over your house in an ultralight or small airplane. What is creepy, is the thought that they won't just fly over, but hover and stare. If I flew over your farm in an ultralight, most people will look up and a few even wave. If I then flew tight circles over your farm, staring, taking pictures, video, etc. you would be upset. It's bad form. It's something that pilots don't do. Helicopter pilots are allowed 50 feet agl, and fixed wing pilots 500 agl. 50 feet agl is ridiculously low. I've had them do that here where I am looking down on the helicopter, being on a higher hill. I don't mind too much. If a drone flew over on it's way to some other place, I wouldn't mind. Same as anyone in an airplane or helicopter. News choppers have been backyard snooping for years. that is how they get the video when it can't be gotten any other way.
