Drone ads

Unread post by JohnF » Sat Jul 08, 2017 12:42 pm

There is a half page ad in this weeks "The Coast" , paper version, promoting a new drone. This product is being sold at the "The DJI/Dr.Drone" store on Baker Drive in Dartmouth. It is an interesting ad telling about new flying experiences. The only warning on the ad is that a person has to be 18 or older in order to fly. This sort of ad makes it seem like you can fly these toys anywhere as long as you are 18 and over. I tried to find the ad on the electronic version of this newspaper so I could put a web site address to it. No luck there.
I just wonder if the vendor explains the facts about flying such devices in the local area. Or is he just wanting to listen the the noise that his cash register makes when he makes a sale?

Dr Drone don't usually go out of their way to explain rules that prevent sales.

Hmmm.... "These clips were sent into us anonymously on a USB stick.". Not very impressive at all...... seems that they are trying to skirt around the rules while flying directly over people....
