Tampa FSDO: Posting drone video on Youtube qualifies as commercialdrone operation

That FSDO gentleman sounds like another impressive federal government employee. Our government is full of folks of this caliber. How would the country function without them?

I for one always feel better knowing that the FAA is on the case, making the world a better place one act of utter genius at a time. We civilians (see mortals) might not be able to fully grasp all of their wisdom at times, but one must have faith in our federal government. We must trust that they have the best interest of all Americans in mind when confusing statements of this sort are made.

I always laugh at how any American today can go buy and fly a 60 lbs, ¼ scale turbine F-15 at 300 mph all day long...but a 3 lbs quad-copter with a GoPro taped on its base is considered a serious threat to commercial aviation and society in general.

This is a bit don't difficult to understand at times for sure. Remember, our federal governments collective wisdom is almost divine. It makes little sense to question it...just have a faith :-)

Now, I'm off to go delete the 900 videos which I have posted to YouTube from my little RC quads. This would probably be worth 2 lifetimes in a federal penitentiary from the sounds of it. My day is ruined!
