I wonder if the military is training USF students to program armed unmanned drones for remote warfare.

Why else would USF have a bunch of Predator drones on campus?

Not sure if serious...?

I thought the only factor that makes drone or RC aircraft illigal is "commercial" use.

Basically I can fly a drone around for fun no probls but if I use it in a way to provide a service or rent it for use, etc... Doesn't it become "commercial"...?

Basically if you make money from it the government doesn't want you doing it.... Make money use is illigal, hobby use is okay.

Can anyone confirm? This is just hearsay.

The FCC just laid out rules for hobbyists but Amazon said it doesn't effect them and their future plans for a drone fleet for same day deliveries.

Disappointingly, the link doesn't say anymore than what you said in your single sentence, but it does use up a whole page for the story.
