Garden hose. Done.
Good idea. I have a pressure washer. That can work in a pinch too.

It's going to be much harder to shoot them down when they all start looking like this...
Just around the corner, I fear.
My neighbors don't have a problem with any of mine.....I've even let them try one of my smaller ones. I don't see what people get all excited over. I have pictures from all over...most of the time the people are the ground never even know its there and are oblivious. I'm sure most of you would be too....
I hope the idiot has to pay to replace they guys quad....
People flipping out and damaging RC gear has been around a lot longer than FPV, lots of caselaw, and how-to's for RC pilots on how to deal with it. Use a DVR in your groundstation, with GPS position logging even better. If someone downs it, call the police, press destruction of property charges, present the lawsuit to the homeowners insurance co, and wait for the check or court date, unless you were being an idiot, you will win. Pretty easy to catch jamming attempts from a fixed position, and the FCC enthusiastically prosecutes it, it's tough to jam frequency hopping spread spectrum, and near impossible without a really wide interference band that disrupts most everything 2.4 in the area. They might cause me to loose a couple hundred in gear, but good chance they will spend thousands on a lawyer, and thousands more in fines, any ham knows that. Best rule for FPVers is to respect the property of others, both for safety and privacy, don't fly low over residences, and try to find a club or permitted location with some room to fly at, it's more fun. For people that just want to destroy someone's hobby out of spite, you really need to evaluate what went wrong in your head, and how great it will be to spend thousands buying the plaintiff new gear if you act on it.
Now there is a guy who will never own another gun...
100% agree. I love people screaming when they are oppressed by certain laws but not others. Just like owning firearms....If I'm being completely responsible with flying why is it an issue? I guess I could say "Come and take it"....no?

I would use a pellet gun and avoid the firearms charges.

Because you are trespassing. If you don't have permission to put a camera on my property you do should not and your camera and drone does not belong there, period.
Similarly if I tell you that you cannot come to my house carrying a gun, and you do (even if you have a CCW), I can ask you to leave. You have to comply or you will be trespassing and you can be subject to arrest by the police.
We'll that gets into the whole legal question of how much of the airspace over your property you actually own...which from my research insist very much. In that case it would't be trespassing if its not technically your property.
Again this is all pretty moot since most of the time no one every knows I'm even there...he
