The Many Ways to Lose Your Drone in No Fly Zones

[GJUK]

No-Fly Zones mean just that. Don't fly. As tempting as it may be to only fly at a limited height, or just very briefly, there is a reason that area has been designated as such, and it should be respected at all times. This is one of those nag screens you want to pay attention to.

But, let's say that your machine doesn't come from a responsible manufacturer, that doesn't let you fly where you absolutely shouldn't, and you decide to get airborne...here are a few of the fates that could befall your quad depending on where you are in the world at the time.

Was reading this and couldn't help but get a couple of good laughs. I think this was important to share. I think the more we all respect things like this, the more likely we are to have more freedom to fly in areas where they are so kind to allow it already. I mean last thing I'd want to see is my expensive quadcopter blown sky high out of the air.
