FollowDrone with Flamethrower - Is this an official Hobbyking sponsored video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmD3rXUR1Tw
This video depicts a drone firing a flamethrower in a wooded area. I am aware that flamethrowers are legal and that this probably isn't illegal. However, it is very irresponsible and this is obviously a video that will cause a lot of public outcry much like this user's previous video where he mounted a gun on it.
I consider these videos to be EXTREMELY toxic to the image of quadcopters and drones in general. We all know the looming legislation over drones regarding registration and possibly more restrictions over RC aircraft. This video is in extreme bad taste and poor judgement and I find it incredibly toxic to the image of RC multirotors in general.
If Hobbyking sponsored this then I am very upset with Hobbyking. I'm about to purchase several hundred dollars with of Lipos, a charger, and I need a new Transmitter. I'm perfectly happy taking my business to another site that isn't promoting the destruction of a responsible hobby.
Thanks.
