Following on from the AI thread, these are really impressive bits of kit. Out of interest, how far away can and do they go?

It looks like an incredible way to get pictures that you just couldn't get from a light aircraft.

I've just bought a little quadcopter to do a play around with some video stuff. Rather than the legal worries about the FAA, I was wondering what people do in regards to light aircraft? I fly and often pootle around 500-1000 feet AGL, I imagine one could do a lot of expensive damage in an impact.

First, learn how to read a sectional map : http://skyvector.com/

Never fly anywhere near an airport at any altitude higher than the treetops.

Sorry I've realised I wasn't very clear, I'm a PPL and regularly fly my aircraft around at those heights. My concern was more about others who could potentially be flying around in the same airspace. I'm not sure how easy See and avoid would be for small FPV aircraft.
