So I'm sitting on my front porch, running my quad up and down the street and here and there around the neighborhood when the devil got into me. I brought it back to my driveway and then flew it across the street and into Woody's back yard. I had it hover there at window height and rotated it so the camera was looking straight into Woody's kitchen window. I let her sit there for a while but I guess Woody wasn't home. If he had been, he would have come boiling out of the kitchen door and then into the front yard, looking about to find out what the hell was going on. Too bad - maybe he'll be home next time.

(Y'all need to know that Woody and I are good buddies and once he found out it was me, he would have cooled off and we both would probably share a drink.)
 
Funny how people get mad at an electrical device looking at them.. but when somebody walking down the street looks at them.. it's ok.
 
Or the neighbor a few houses away from Woody does notice there's a drone obviously spying into someone else's window, calls the cops, and you get your quad taken away, along with a free ride to the police station
where you get to explain to them how it was just a harmless prank on your friend albeit unbeknownst to that friend at the time; assuring them that he'd had thought it was funny upon discovering it was YOU his friend.
Which, btw, has nothing at all to do with whether or not it was legal to do such a thing, jokingly or not.
 
Hope Woody doesn't have an AR-15 with a bump stock. See, what would have happened if Woody WAS home and feeling off the maid in the kitchen? I heard the bump stock makes the AR-15 really fast!
 
Testing a bad idea does not necessarily lead to a good outcome. But then if you jump off of one bridge and not die, does that mean jumping off the same bridge won't kill you? That depends on what's waiting for you the second time...
 
Next time probably will be a different result. What if he takes his wife's car out & she doing dishes then reaches for Charlene, boom. A thousand pieces.
Not caring what way it was facing.
Camera or no camera. What was a friend now thinks you after his misses.
Many ways that situation could go wrong. Not advisable.
My neighbour was coming in one day in his car & I stopped him from parking in our space. I don't fly around the back so he didn't know who it was. He was about to drive over quad so I landed on the hood. (rubber pads) 30 seconds later the wife pulls up & got her space.
I see him now & again looking around before he gets in the car.
Wrong I know but I'm not on private property & the space is allotted to us.
 
OK - I give up. You guys are right. I have not attempted to hover in Woody's back yard and don't plan to in the future. After all, I'm the guy who is constantly singing the song of, "even it it's legal, avoid controversy."
