The drone problem

[JSAPP]

Well done.

[Hart8]

Well played.

[Jayt22]

Nice! You have him a warning, that's fair enough! Play ball!

[wassaw]

Send his plate number to Chew, get HIS address for future reference if needed.

[mchildress]

Good deal but I would of loved to of handed him my beer and took the controls saying watch this shet.

[ultrastealth]

The fact that he didn't just apologize and promise not to do it again leads me to believe that he didn't get the point. He obviously thinks that he is within the law doing what he's doing and will continue to do it.

[chrisgunguy]

Awesome. Good job.

Bob, you sir , are the MAN. Way to Go.

[Texas Tracker]

An old 150watt linear amplifier and an old Sideband Cobra CB radio with a slider modification and key the microphone in lower sideband mode when the drone is near. He is flying on 2.4hgz but the RF from the linear amp will shoot the thing down, in other words he will lose control of the thing from the RF bleed over and it will crash somewhere. Equivalent of 450 watts of RF power will override his measley 4 watts within 1/4 mile.
I lost an RC airplane due to this one time and it was found almost 30 miles away in a man's cow pasture.
Truckers with hopped up CB's used to love doing this to us until we found out what was taking control of our airplanes.
No firearms involved

This man must be an old HAM radio operator. That will do the trick.

There are no closed seasons or bag limits on drones in Texas - right?

[HainesNYT]

With age comes patience and wisdom.

^ Awesome. Well Played, Sir!

I agree,
I started to type this and then decided not to...
If he started to explain the law and his rights to you and did not apologize, he'll be back. I hope I'm wrong.

You need to keep some clay targets by your shotgun. You never know when the urge to shoot sheet will hit you. Just in case.

[3DW5]

I think you handled the situation as best as you possible could have, hopefully it's resolved now. Just shows that doing things the 'nice' way pays off. But like you said, that's his ONE warning

X2....

Way to go Draco!!!
