in the drone community, there is a lot of talk of the 400-foot rule. The 400-foot rule is because you can only fly your drone in uncontrolled airspace below 400 feet above the ground in America.

Drones have opened up the air to hobbyists and people without access to aeroplanes or helicopters. Although this new capability has opened up to everyone, there has been a lot of discussion about whether drones are safe. They may or may not be safer for some tasks than helicopters.

How often drones crash [DATA and more]
Before purchasing my drone, I was certainly interested in how often drones crash. A drone can be a relatively expensive investment for a hobby, and I didn’t want to crash it within hours or days of receiving it. The way I like to look at it is it’s like a flying laptop. However, there is no getting around that you need to effectively send drones high into the sky in a relatively unpredictable environment. There could be birds, trees, and many other obstacles that can cause your drone to crash.
How to stop drones from flying over your house [Legal options]
Having a drone fly over your house and property can be very frustrating. Perhaps your neighbour has got a drone, and they fly over your house regularly. Are they allowed to do that? Hopefully, you can civilly speak to them and get them to consider your privacy and preference for them not to fly over your property. Unfortunately, some neighbours and drone pilots do not listen to this request, and you may find yourself in a very frustrating stand-off with a drone pilot.
