Drones on Kauai

I saw this article in our local newspaper and wanted to share it with the forum>>

http://thegardenisland.com/news/local/delight-and-disquiet/article_9d4f2ad6-8989-11e4-a4ec-2bfb0b9aca5d.html

The 2 photography businesses that are mentioned http://www.grayhope.com/ and http://www.droneabove.com/ are on the islands and use our unique landscape to get some nice videos. They also offer some advice to the new drone user.

I'm seriously considering the purchase of a drone to start an aerial video business for realtors if and when there's a policy in place for the commercial use of drones.

I actually haven't seen any drones around Kauai, not like the article makes it out to be. Maybe more drones will scare off the feral chickens around here.

    Well the regs may be out in 2017, but nothing is stopping anyone from applying for a COA right now.

    You need a lot of flight experience before you can go flying around peoples houses. You need a lot of building and repairing experience before you will get the flying experience. I would say start flying now if you don't have any experience, you'll have enough in a couple years.
