Drones illegal
They just banned the use of any drone in the East Bay Regional Parks here in northern CA. I won't be surprised if the State follows this law by making it illegal in all the State Parks real soon. Next...

RC airplanes were mostly flown where you have wide open sky's far from crowded areas. Same I think for RC helicopters. Both were loud and took a lot of practice to keep from crashing and destroying them. The new drones are cheap, don't take much training, and are being bought by the thousands. While many adult users will use them responsibly I suspect most owners have little regard for where, how, when they fly them and will ruin the hobby for others.
BINGO! Huge difference between cheap, easy to fly, drones & RC aircraft. They are a fad, like so many fads before. You get one because it looks like fun, & it is, but the fun quickly wears away.
See many CB radios out there these days? They boomed then went bust. Jet skis are another toy with little use that gets used for a short period then gets sold or stuffed in the bushes somewhere.
Recreational drones will boom & go bust. Professional drones in professional hands, all licensed & insured, will be here to stay.
Something else will come along that will be a 'must have' till the idiots abuse & kill it.
