I have one. Depending on the drone you have you can trim your controls to suit your flying style. I adjust mine for speed as I mostly shoot landscapes.
A great place to start is to find a nice quiet spot and fly back and forth/up and down trying hold focus on a particular image. Happy flying |

Lad at work had one
We spend half our lunch breaks trying to retrieve it from fucking trees
And nearly took the head off a few inside the office with it 
Needs a delicate touch to fly it |

"Can you shoot them down if they are hovering over your property?? "
Don't think so. Saw a video recently of a surveyor using one over a property. The owner of said property came out and asked him to stop but surveyor replied that while he owned the property he did not own the airspace above it. Obviously if they are being used to invade privacy that's a different story but hard to argue that properly. |

Reason i ask is that robbers were using them to see what is behind the house and if the property was vacant to break in.
But thanks for answering my question. |

"Be aware of where you're flying it too, the Aviation Authority and Defense Forces etc will have strict no fly zones and some may not be as obvious as a busy airport."
I saw a drone flying close to the Army barracks in Athlone. It was getting a lot of attention from the armed sentries, who were also trying to spot the pilot. The rescue helicopter comes and goes all day from there, so it was very foolish of the drone operator. |

"I think they should be regulated for that reason or stick laws on them or something. I think it's just not right to be able to invade like this."
That are regulated and must be registered if over a certain weight, there are restrictions as to where you can fly them. |

All drones should be licenced and used for specific authorised purposes. I never understood why every Tom, Dick and Harry should be allowed to use one possibly endangering lives, causing nuisance and invading peoples privacy on many occasions. If used as a hobby, then should do so in authorised locations that don't cause these issues. I am off to play with my train set |

You have to register drones above 1kg if you want to fly above 15feet.
Max 120ft
Cant fly above urban areas
Cant fly above more than 12 people but one under 250grams can.
Stay 5km away from airport, cant fly within 30m of a crowd. Also cant fly above national monuments.
Those are general rules. Class of drone may have few or more rules and commercial drones.
As for controlling a drone ,this is easy enough. Start at 2 to 5 metres altitude in an open space.
Fvp is awesome |
