> Drones are a serious responsibility, and can be misused to cause a lot of damage
>I flew the drone over to a friend's back yard, and had misconfigured the "return-to-home" altitude too low
You claim to understand the need for responsible drone ownership, yet in the same comment mention how you crashed your drone (luckily only into a tree) while violating clearly-stated FAA line-of-sight guidelines (and also not having understood the basic flight controls and recovery options). This is some serious cognitive dissonance.
