cmaloney | morning | 14:32 |
cmaloney | rick_h: Saw your drone footage. Very cool! | 14:33 |
cmaloney | Did you send a note to the FAA to let them know you were flying? (curious how that works) | 14:33 |
rick_h | cmaloney: so I call a control tower when I'm at home. | 14:33 |
rick_h | I'm in 5miles from Oakland airport | 14:33 |
cmaloney | Ah, OK | 14:33 |
rick_h | Up there on the lake there wasn't any aviation stuff to worry about | 14:34 |
cmaloney | Ah, got it | 14:34 |
cmaloney | Any strange looks from folks? :) | 14:34 |
rick_h | So I've got a series of drone apps that map out airports, helipads, etc | 14:34 |
rick_h | So some other boats I passed waved but no. No one really did anything. | 14:34 |
rick_h | I think it's off since it could be anywhere on the lake. They've got a > 3mi range | 14:35 |
rick_h | So not a lot of folks probably knew it was me sitting a long way away on a lawn chair | 14:35 |
cmaloney | heh | 14:35 |
cmaloney | Surprised I didn't see more hovering around the family | 14:35 |
rick_h | So was my way to have some lake fun | 14:35 |
rick_h | The family was the folks on the jetski | 14:36 |
cmaloney | (gives new meaning to helicopter parenting) | 14:36 |
cmaloney | Yeah | 14:36 |
rick_h | Have a lot more footage but tried to cut something to music for the first time. | 14:36 |
rick_h | Lol @ helicopter parenting | 14:36 |
rick_h | Not going to lie, lots of him on the kayak tracking how he did. First time he's taken it out on his own | 14:37 |
cmaloney | That's awesome | 14:38 |
cmaloney | I can see the schoolyear now: | 14:38 |
rick_h | Yea he had fun | 14:38 |
cmaloney | *whirrr* "I don't hear any cleaning in here, Michael; are you cleaning your room?" *whirr* | 14:38 |
