[@MrCPPG]

Did you ever think of having the drone carry a grappling device lik you had but attached to a long string. The drone attaches the hook to the dron and lets go of the string where someone on the ground grabs the string and yanks the other drone off the roof?

[@KenHeron]

The reason why they're not able to permit is because they are not the FAA. Thank you very much for watching. If you need more information: [e-mail]

[@DekonR]

@@KenHeron The FAA isn't the only one who can tell you where you're allowed to fly your drone. Go try it in a National Park and get fined hard. Just because this is a less city park doesn't mean they can't have the same rules. From the FAA: "Be aware that even if you have an airspace authorization to fly in the airspace over this area, you do not have authorization to take off or land from the property designated as a local No Drone Zone." From Nashville: "Drone flight is not allowed in Nashville Metro Parks except in three designated areas: Warner Park, Peeler Park, and Cane Ridge."

[@skidrose6067]

An incident occurred on September 3, 2023 and the PA State police now have my Air 2S. I was filming a hyper lapse video of the sunset when I received a critical battery error (my own stupidity) and the drone made an emergency landing about 400 meters from home. I could see that it had landed on a neighbors property and waited until the next morning to go there and ask permission to search. When I did they told me that they had found it and called the police who came and took the drone. I was happy to hear that it was found and figured that all I needed to do was call, explain what happened, and go retrieve it from them. I made that call on September 4 and was told that the officer involved would have to call me back. I waited a few days without hearing a word then he finally contacted me. He informed me that I wouldn't be getting the drone back soon if at all because there had been other complaints, about drone flyers in my neighborhood. I explained that I could easily prove that there was no malicious intent on my part by showing him the flight logs. I also told him that everything I filmed would be on the memory card in the drone and, if he removed the battery, he would find a sticker with my name, address and phone number on it. He didn't want to hear that though and was very arrogant and downright rude when he told me that he was gathering everyone in the area who had complained and they were taking me to court. When I inquired about a timeline he said that he couldn't even start the 'investigation' until he gets off of 3rd shift. Its been a month and he still has not started the investigation. Since then I've done some research and found that civil forfeiture laws exist that allow them to keep property indefinitely even if there are never any charges or arrests made.

[@spyder000069]

Might want to approach dealing with security and others with a little more pleasant attitude. Statements like: "we don't have to listen to you." "Bring them on." "You can tell your people." could probably be changed from confrontational to informational. You are representing the hobby and she was pretty nice about things and just trying to do her job.

In addition to FAR, Illinois has had a specific statute since 2018 - no jurisdiction below State level can make any rules/regulations about unmanned air traffic (because they can't anyway).

A lot of places have a "no drone" policy. Doesn't make it legal or enforceable, but they will still ask you to leave every time. So when the lowest paid rep from the company comes out to deliver the message, it doesn't mean she is clueless or needs to educate herself. She was doing what she was paid to do, deliver a message. Then ya'll shot the messenger. I hope you all go back and get the Solo 3DR down, looks pretty cool.

By default, drone flight is allowed in public parks and state parks. However, each park district has the authority to create orders that prohibit or regulate drone flight in their respective parks. This can take the form of absolute restriction, designated hours for drone flight, or a requirement for drone pilots to secure a permit prior to flying their drones.

[@Joe_Fotoleo]

I love going back and watching this old stuff

[@lylehaylett3153]

Sorry, but "Paula Blart" was more correct than you think. While the city can't regulate flying over something like a park (the FAA owns that) they can, and do regulate and can enforce where you takeoff and land. Nashville Metro Code: 13.24.400 - Aviation. "No person shall voluntarily bring, land or cause to descend or alight within or upon any park, any airplane, flying machine, balloon, parachute, or other apparatus for aviation. "Voluntarily," in this connection shall mean anything other than a forced landing. Any landing other than one caused by mechanical or structural failure of the aircraft or any of its parts shall be deemed to have been made voluntarily, and this shall include landings caused by error or oversight, negligence or failure to comply with FAA regulations or rulings. This section is to be construed in pari materia with Section 13.24.240 of this code. This section shall not apply to parachuting activities in conjunction with the Tennessee Women's Suffrage Centennial Celebration in Centennial Park."

[@calandroaudio]

He is correct

[@AfterJuneFilm]

If you go to the Nashville City Park site, it states that you can not launch or land drones in the majority of the parks in Nashville. It's a city ordinance folks.....

Well see the thing is ordinances are not laws and therefore not enforceable, any open airspace is controlled by the FAA and that is the sole party who can decide airspace’s.

Cities dont regulate air space 👀 If they don't want drones flown in certain areas..... They can submit it to the FAA for approval. Drone flight is not regulated by cities..... It's regulated by the federal aviation authority "folks"

One in particular is extremely aggressive about it as well, and it's a very popular one to get footage of. It's such a vague provision that it's literally unenforceable but they all scream about it and call the cops who don't have a clue what to do with it really.

[@who2999]

A few years back I was taking video of a historic sight for a local park department and my Mavic 2 got stuck in a tree. I devised a very similar grappling hook solution with a stick and a roll of poop bags I found on premesis then sent my Air 2 up to retrieve the Mavic 2 pro. I hooked it perfectly, pulled the drone slightly upward and then... my air 2's engines errored out and did an emergency shut off sending the air 2 toppling to the ground and leaving the M2P stuck in the tree. The next day my work hired a tree trimmer to go retrieve the M2P, apparently they didn't quite understand the assignment because we basically paid them $400 to gently retrieve the drone with their ladders and they literally showed up on site and threw a rock at it knocking the drone from the tree.

I have a drop mechanism for my mini 2. It can lift half a pound, I tested it, and if it gets stuck I can trigger the drop mechanism, that might have been better for you. They also make them for larger dji drones. They're pretty cool, and super cheap, they're just a servo with a receiver and a slide arm.

[@mxracingunlimitedltd7784]

Really wow i never seen that before. where you get it from and whats it called? ive seen homemade stuff with servos on rc places so im assuming your using a seperate tx & rx? Do you have the folding landing gear on yours or no? My drone is super low to the ground and it cant really even land in grass without it chopping up the grass lol.. But thats cool, i wonder if they have that for the dji mini 3 pro.. That thing can stay up in some serious wind that would give my bigger drones a hard time, its incredible. I wonder how much weight it could pull, probably not much but the motors and esc seem strong. Ive heard great things about the mini 2 and i want to pick one up to have with the mini 3 or maybe ill go for a bigger dji drone like the air2/2s. But the Avata is really tempting to me plus then i could use the goggles and controller for a FPV drone..that i dont have yet lol.. FPV is also cool on a rc plane i like flying it from like the cockpit area where i have the camera mounted and it almost feels like a crappy graphics simulator with the analog fpv lol but it works and its pretty damn cheap.

What about a two drone rig? Two phantom, four pros with a string between them and the grappling hook section hangs from the middle of that string and you could have the two phantoms spread out for enough to be safe from each other. He would just have to have two pilots coordinating there drag and lift moves together. That way you’d have a double the lift. A master pilot like you can I want to be able to handle it… I’m thinking if you had them with say a 3 foot or 4 foot string between them with the grappling hook, hanging from the center, put both phantoms in tripod mode as soon as you’re up in the air, and very slowly maneuver it into place and drag and lift… I know I’m making it sound much simpler than it is but I could picture it. I think it could work.

[@falconseyeaerialservicesll8176]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Twice the power of having two phantom 4s. A strong string and a nice grappling hook. But I didn’t thing about the tripod mode. Thank u. Ken, how about it? I’ll volunteer to come down from Indiana with my phantom 4. Btw, I wonder if the “Master Airscrew” props would make any different in lifting power 🤔….? I also liked someone else’s idea on the Inspire 2.

[@scottthroop6208]

The drone on the roof is a 3D Robotics Solo with Master Airscrew props, a Gopro Hero 4, and a very hard to find 3DR gimbal. Worth retrieving. These drones have a huge following still and the replacement parts pool is shrinking rapidly. These were $2k drones, pre DJI Phantom era, heavily touted as the first "smart drone". They were way ahead of their time. Used 3DR Solos can be found for $300 without the gimbal all day long, but fetch a premium with the gimbal and Hero 4 Black, the only camera that works with it plug and play for full function. New Solos can only be acquired through the 3DR $20K enterprise package, last I heard. Mine weighs in at almost 4 lbs all up with gear and flies great. Fast, nimble, and built rock solid. Still my favorite drone to fly on jobs with my Typhoon H a close 2nd.

[@mikerooneym6266]

I like seeing these drone rescue missions. You need different gizmos to retrieve these drones.

[@TomInGulfBreeze]

Need more lift! Time to break out the Inspire 2! Because why not try to save a $300 drone with a $5000 drone, right?

[@Couldntellya]

You could put the hook on a release and on a longer string. Hook it with the drone , release the hook, pull the string from the ground . Could have a trash bag a few feet up the string from the hook to act as a parachute.

[@virginiatrailcameravideos]

I have nowhere near the experience of Ken flying my drone. I do hold my Part 107. I have found in my few interactions with those that know nothing that they prefer to stay that away. As calmly as I can I try to educate them that, despite their passion, they don't own the airspace over their house, a park, etc., but they don't care. They heard on the Internet that people are spying on houses to rob them or find kids to stare at, and that's it. They don't want to know more. They are convinced they have caught a criminal and they enjoy their ignorance. So disappointing.

I'd probably have been super aggressive with that security guard. As soon as they escalated things, I'd do whatever I could to keep pushing them. Then I'd file as many felony charges against them as possible to make an example out of them. I hate security guards and police who obviously pretend to know what they are talking about. I'd happily ruin their career (and hopefully temporarily make their future uncomfortable) if they decide to bother me if I'm not breaking laws. I am polite until someone feels like they have the right to tell me what to do. I'm that type of person's worst nightmare. I don't understand the people who tell everyone in the RC hobby to be polite and put their tails between their legs when approached. That is how you lose rights.

I say this because I flew the Parthenon about 3 weeks ago and then I read later that they no longer allow drones in metro(Nashville) parks. I think it’s some goofy shit but I think that became something last year. I mean, I know that they can’t confiscate anything from you and the officers aren’t even aware of of this law. I flew right in front of one. Lol. But , in the future, especially with remote id, there might be a fine involved. You seem real knowledgeable so share what you know so that I can stay in compliance. P.s- she really didn’t seem to be angry or an antagonist at all. She just seemed to be doing what she was asked

Unless "they" are the FAA, it matters not.

[@GlennsHardWired]

@@KenHeron Metro Parks is not able to permit the use of drones in parks outside of designated flying areas for any purpose, including photography or filming. Metro Ordinances require that no person shall voluntarily bring, land or cause to descent or alight within or upon any park, any airplane, flying machine, balloon, parachute, or other apparatus for aviation (which includes drones). Drone flight is not allowed in Nashville Metro Parks except in three designated areas: Warner Park, Peeler Park, and Cane Ridge. A permit is necessary to fly drones in these designated areas. Ref Code of Ordinances Sec 13.24.400"

Ha Ha "OK here we go". 😆 These things need to be addressed with the Security or Police. I realize they are doing their job, its their supervision that needs to keep the officers up to speed with the law.

We have no cell service in between the mountains where I live. After a big storm I sent my iPhone 11 up to where there was service under my phantom. Held it there for long enough to send and receive messages.

The security guard was being nice and polite. You came off sounding like a smart..ss

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Well because he is right lmfao. If it’s open airspace, you can fly there as long as you’re not violating any regulations like going out of line of sight or getting too close to people and vehicles

[@DekonR]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Not correct. You can't launch and land anywhere you want just because the FAA designates the airspace above it as open.

[@DroneWorks75]

Ya not cool how you came off to the security guard , the more education we can offer to the public the better off the drone community will be , being a smart ass just because your right will only blacken the eye more and more for the drone community

[@DDsAerialViews]

Hey look, I didn't cause a ruckus :). We didn't know it was a 3DR Solo when we planned this. Heck that one's been up three years and counting. What do you all think GoPro 3 or 4? What a great rescue attempt. Shame we didn't get it. Still fun though.

[@qrdnk]

It´s a GoPro HERO 4, still have mine in use. First, I thought it was a HERO3+ but nope... on a big screen, the four can be seen clearly at some frames

[@leviconnelly79]

Awesome video Ken! so entertaining 😃

[@TomZimmerlinkat]

It feels like a job for the ladder truck he has.

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Nice Ken!

[@steveday2022]

I get your frustration Ken; I would be too but she was so nice and trying to what she thought was right.

[@edrone_]

Man so close!! I was feeling frustrated with you when the security rolled up its a shame that most of them do not know or understand airspace rules. They think park means no flyzone but that's for National Parks not public parks. Hope they get some education on that. Awesome adventure and I'm glad you did not loose the phantom! 🤟👏👍

[@SuperMan19867]

she just jealous of him

[@dronechaserzl1]

Damn.. that drone must weigh over 4 lbs
