January 23, 201511 yr Put me in the camp that thinks letting drones fly all over the country is a bad idea. (see Amazon) If I see one of those things flying around the Compound, Mr. Cat will be summoned immediately to shoot it down.
January 23, 201511 yr Drones are extremely fun to fly, but I would be very careful about where I flew one...
