****AVOID YOUTUBE!!!! NO 3D Flights or RC Anything!*** FAA has deemed youtube videos "Commercial"

[Phil.Griffin]

Funny that they knew where to send the letter since there is no real private info such as address on YouTube. I wonder if this was just something stupid someone pulled from their arse. I know I'll be posting tons of vids this summer and just got some fresh GoPro mounts to put on a plane so they can suck it and enjoy the video.

I've got piles of 3D video on my YouTube channel. I'm about sick of this crap. Eff them.

I wonder if they are doing the same thing to private pilots who post their videos?

You damb right they are! Privot pilots are a huge threat to NAS.

This would make EVERY single RC video on youtube a commercial profit. The FAA better order some extra toner cartridges for their printer.

It doesn't answer anything... they are still trying to figure out how hard they want to screw everyone. And no one said they were taking the videos down, they are just selectively pursuing people.

I know around 10 guys who have posted videos of "test and tune" days with their large commercial rigs. They were not being paid to do the filming, they were tuning their machines. But SINCE they have been flagged as a commercial operator at some point the FAA has deemed that ALL their flights are commercial.

This mess is still a mess. And the new "awesome $500 a license regulations" are looking like they will not be implemented any time soon... so again, I sit here with $85K in aerial rigs, and people calling me to work, and many times I can't.

STILL SUCKS.

Oops sorry. Sounds like it does still suck.
Is vimeo still an option or would they still be able to stick there nose where it don't belong There to?
