When I was talking with the drone photog at OUSCI I asked him how much he had his QuadCopter and equipment insured for...........$23,000.



I hope he has FAA waiver for using the copter for "commercial" purpose, unless he does it at OUSI for free. As a former R/C airplane flyer (thinking about getting back in), I've been staying up to date to recent FAA ruling regarding model aircraft, and certainly don't want the Feds regulate a hobby.

I believe he was working for or contracted by MAVtv so I'll assume his paperwork is in order.
