It was an observation, but I guess these days saying that a black person is black is no loner an observation but is seen as racist, so I guess stating that a home build drone looks like a home build drone could by the same token be seen as disparaging or condescending.

Much like what most people do with their cars and most of their other stuff I guess.

Pretty good video to watch and awesome flying skill, but at the same time probably one of the reasons drone flying has been getting bad press lately in the general media.
And I guess the same people doing this stuff will then complain when drone flying gets heavily regulated and may be even banned in most places.
Still a good video to watch and I would hope it was filmed under controlled conditions.
