Only a small number of hobbyists are responsible for bad reputation: Enthusiast

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – “We don’t all break the rules,” that from a local drone hobbyist after another unmanned aircraft entered the airspace over a wildfire near Oliver.

David Zheng sells drones for a living, he’s also a part of the group VANDrones.

He thinks it’s stupid there are some obstructing others from doing their jobs and saving lives.

“When you’re driving and you hear sirens you’re supposed to pull over and let the emergency through, but that’s basically what you’re doing is just staying in the middle of the road and not letting the emergency vehicles through.”

He says he knows 80 people like himself that follow Transport Canada guidelines and don’t invade people’s privacy.

He believes there is only a small minority of hobbyists who aren’t responsible.
