get this peeps.
for the last two weeks,the house behind me has 2 teenage males living there with their parents, they have just got these FREAKING petrol powerd helicopters. i dont mind these things, IN SMALL DOSES. but while i am writing this the clock just ticked over 9:27pm. i have listend these things non stop for about id say 2 hours and the day befor that was about the same and the day befor that and the day befor that. :togo: any way,they fly these over grown mozzies over our back fence and scare the hell out of the dogs and annoy the **** outa me. i have repoprted them to the cops but this doesnt seem to deter them. i rang the council and they cant do it under noise poloution because it doesnt make that much noise and doesnt fall under any catagory. Fair enough Although the coppers orderd them to stop flying them after 7:30pm. last week we were having a bbq and they started up again 6:30 in the arvo on and off till about 9:45 when me and a mate got sick of hearing them we went outside and threw a tennis ball ond a golf ball at em' i missed with the tennis ball but my mate hit with the golf ball. causing the this to crash to the ground. they learnt their lesson they other one returned home and we didnt hear from it again for a few days. cops rock up at the door the same night wanting to know why we willfully damaged someones property ect ect. we told the story they were going to speak with the other party and work it out. We never heard back .UNTIL TODAY where i got a letter from some big nob in the small claims saying if the damage wasnt payed for imediently we would go to court. My mate who didnt want this payed for the damages he withdraw some money out of the bank and gave it to them. we went to get tea (well pizza) and i **** you not 2............2..................2 FREAKING HELICOPTERS FLYING AROUND MY BACK YARD AGAIN. now 9:42 and they just put these things to sleep. AHHHHHHHHHH peace at last sorry i had to express my ****edofftness cheers Duane. |

That sucks. Can't you just say you were playing cricket next time and peg a real cricket ball at them?
How much did your mate have to pay?

If they are over your fence line, then hit em with water or somthin. You cannot be done for willful damage if they are invading your property.

If they are flying in your property knock em down and sum1 says sumthing just say you thought they were spying n your windows turn it back on them. I am not sure bout the rulse there but here you arnt suppose to fly petrol powered helicopters in surburbia you are only allowed at RC flying clubs hope that helps or gives you an idea.

that spying one doesnt actually seem to bad an idea though, a little far fetched but good none the less. see the problem was they said that the damage was incured in their property they thing hit the fence and fell on their side. second they dont actually fly directly over my house BUT do go as far as about 5-10m into the yard buy go back again.i know where they keep there fuel i was thinking about playing with the mixture and maybe siezing the motor. but i dont want anything put back on me . so i reluctant to act atm.

So they were damaged, aparently so much so that the full cost of the object was claimed, yet they were flying around within a few hours?!
Send a letter claiming for the cost of your golf ball and tennis ball :P

If it is 27 mhz, use a SSB CB. It will interfere with it something fierce. Doesnt take much to drop a chopper. As for boundary. If its over your backyard, for even a second, thats trespass (in Qld anyway). They dont have to touch your ground, the airspace above to about 50 metres is considered your property and no-one has the right to violate it. They are making use of your property, without your consent. Its civil though (police wont do anything in that regard, council is the same), so you have to weigh up the costs v benefits, you would likely get an award of compensation, question is will they pay up. Costs would be theirs too, but youd have to pay your solicitors first. Personally, Id fire my sons RC controller, and have some fun. Sooner or later, Ill find the frequency. Know anyone with a scanner that scans in those lower ranges? Most decent scanners start scanning around 25mhz. Im not sure but I reckon it would pick up something and stop scanning and the screen will show you the frequency. Just wait till theyre flying them, tomorrow it seems. I can see Ive been ninjad, the controller will work. As said you wont fly it, yours will cause enough interference, it will just not do what they want it too, thus it WILL CRASH. Theyre hard to fly. At $1300, it will have about 6 servos. Last edited by fmc351; 04-01-2007 at 03:43 AM. |

Hmmmm how could you damage one without using any ur own stuff maybe a stick or sumthing, then they really can't prove that you did it, they might of crashed and are blaming you again to get another rc chopper _2:

I would think there would be regulations about flying them in residential areas - especially of a night. Powered, possibly no lights, could be an issue. |

someone else beat me too it, but isnt it just great in the way OUR taxes pay to put usless dead beats like these neighbours into free housing when they have the money to buy RC copters, bikes, cars and the rest, when there's families out there that dont make enuf money each week to simply feed their kids, let alone do anything else, and they get no help at all coz they dont 'fit' into the welfare system....
dude, im bl00dy sure whoever the dept. is that handles the public housing scheme would LOVE to hear about the money they have to throw around. they would act like centrelink does when they find out about dole cheats.. out: out: maybe a 'surprise' inspection is in order......... all RC stuff use UHF frequncies, so some sort of scanning type 'jammer' must be available somewhere. would be p1ss funny to see these b@st@rd's units flying along, then do a big fat right hander into a tree.... :evil3: |

If they are as dumb as they sound, they wont last long anyway
One of my mates has a RC chopper and it's a ***** of a thing to control, maybe before long it will end up a tangled mess in their guttering I wonder if someone from the hobby shop could lend some sort of device (if possible) that picks up the frequency of it and take control , that way you could fly it where you want! |
