Jeff Dunham & Bubba J have a message for you about Drone Safety 

Oh how so cool. Jeff is a R/C guy. I started with Model Airplanes back in 1959. .049 & C/L. 1976 1st Radio. Currently flying engines from TD .049 - .56. Planes with wingspans, 24 - 60 inches. 2 ch - 6 channels. Today, I'm 71 and still tinker on my planes. Just one of my Hobbies. Tis my Basket Weaving, keeps my Mental Side active and working OK. Flyen Model Airplanes is the MOST FUN you can have with your pants on.

I am a proud member of the AMA since 1972, to this day December 2nd 2021. I did not know that Jeff is a member also.

I’m proud of Jeff I’m a AMA and he’s got all the rules down to a tee as being said I’m going out and fly my 1/4 scale warbird today.

Love Bubba J. He's smarter then people give him credit for. Love Jeff Dunham also.

First of all Jeff is an absolute gentleman, second he is a genius...and yes BJ my favourite character together with Peanut...

Jeff is so good, it's like there are two people on stage.

Bubba J was pretty smart on this video. That surprised me lol

Thank you for accurate information. I love you.

Jeff is awesome. I hope he's entertaining us for many years. Bubba J is my absolute favorite!

Love ya Jeff... but...... TLDR - There are no federal laws against flying a drone over private property as the FAA only regulates airspace above 400 feet. However, some areas have passed local or state laws to prohibit drones over private properties. Before navigating a drone over a residence, pilots should check local laws and regulations.

You gotta love this guy!

Great effort by the AMA to try to educate people about the fun and seriousness of flying RC.

Thanks! From all of us at Mid-carolina airport RUQ Rowan county Salisbury NC

bubba j for president ....... 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I love this show

Jeff I had no idea you flew model aircraft.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO JEFF

Nano QX, my first quad too

First of all, that quadcopter weighs less than 0.55lbs, so it is exempt from FAA rules. If you’re outside controlled airspace, you can fly above 400 feet when flying over a large structure like a building, but it must be below 500 feet from the cloud ceiling. If the building is 1000 feet AGL, you can fly at 1400 feet AGL as long as you’re below 500 feet below the clouds. You can fly over people’s houses when taking off and landing from your own property. It’s not polite, but it’s not illegal unless you were causing an invasion of privacy or crashed into their house. You can fly inside your car while someone else is driving only In a sparsely populated area. You can fly around people, but they must be participating in the event. Read the rules, people. Also, the AMA is only significant when flying at a club, which you don’t have to. Plenty of wide open land in the USA. They won’t offer you insurance money if you don’t fly at an AMA club… FliteTest put forth more effort than the AMA did at protecting our rights to fly model aircrafts.

When you are flying a drone you are flying in federal airspace, but when you are flying a RC helicopter your not.... Got in AMA!

Jeff man help keep the hobby going help influence those making these model aircraft Reg’s you can do it :)

Love we are getting folks like Jeff involved. Personally, I am not sure we want to portray RC enthusiasts or even new drone pilots as Bubba J. however. I am afraid new pilots will take one look at Bubba, and say, "that ain't me" and tune out. I dunno, but love to see Jeff helping out. Also, having Achmed show up in the background is more than a little disturbing since it has connotations we probably don't want to force into the public's mind at this juncture.

Most awesome vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been Flying RC aircraft for over 40 years and I can tell you, the RC community wouldn't be in the situation we are in now if the people that purchase the mutirotors,, DRONES, would have had to acually learn to build, Wire, setup, and then fly. I would say that 90% of the operators that are flying the out of the box copters would not be flying if they acually had to learn to build before they fly. Why didn't these companies already have a online training test and once passed you are given a code to unlock your DRONE, so stupid people could then fly. Might as well give a 7 year old a handgun and send him to school... Never had any issues until the ignorant started opening boxes.

I Love Bubba J

Cool. I've been flying Heli,s sense 95.

I love Jeff smile

This show is better than the Larry The Cable Guy Tour CD

Bubba J is the last one to know about anything!!!

I don't remember big air companies asking my permission to fly their airbuses over my house...

❤️❤️❤️LOOOVE. Jeff your Awsome!

Thanks bubba j!!!

I do love bubba

GOOD INFO😉

Here is a link to the AMA safety code, www.modelaircraft.org/files/105.pdf The 400' ceiling for models give a 100' seperation to the min altitued that full scale aircraft can fly at. The AMA has had rules and guidelines for setting up club flying sites and how we fly our models for decades. I would prefer to follow the AMA rules and guidelines instead of a government law. But if people fly in an unsafe manner without regard for other people around them and/or personal property we will have government laws put upon us. Nobody wants that!

I drink beer. Brilliant

I really wanted to get a drone bad but I found out the parkway I was going to fly it the most often they are banned!

OMG JD!!! Your looking so very healthy and also very handsome and casual ...but then again Jeff; you've always looked really sharpe and styling when you wear your jeans, T-shirt, blazer....you are One Sharpe dressed man....Always !!! Looking good my friend!! Love you and your little band of misfits darlin! Former fan....F.B.

Good morning from SE Louisiana 20 Jun 21.

Didn't know Jeff was a badass like that.

Bubba, J has it going on,, anybody that likes, Beer, 👍🍻🍻

Bubba shot the Juke Box 😂😄

All I can think of is David Prowse telling me about road safety

I LOVE BUBBA J

Bubba J is So Cute!!❤

AMA rules no more than 400 feet within 5 miles of an airport the I'm glad that you're actually taking a serious tone on this I thought this was going to be more of a joke and be a bad thing to the Hobby of model Aviation

I love Jeff and I think it's fantastic he's talking about unmanned vehicle safety, but saying "You have to abide by some rules setup by the AMA model aircraft safety code," is a bit of a stretch. You only have to abide by most of them if you're an AMA member and want the insurance coverage. If you're not an AMA member and don't want their insurance coverage, all you have to essentially do is not fly within 5 miles of an airport, yield to full scale aircraft, and not piss off or 'endanger' the public. The AMA doesn't make laws, the FAA basically does. Also the 400 foot restriction, within line of sight, and over private property aren't exactly 'laws', although some states are trying to change that. To my knowledge, the AMA also doesn't limit members to 400 feet. Basically you just have to yield to manned aircraft. Great message, but misleading in my opinion. The second a new viewer of this video Google's these AMA/FAA rules, they'll see it's pretty much voluntary.

Favorites are Mama J and I love peanut

Giggling but ty good advice

Wow

I thought 1st responders were the 1st to the bar seat 🥰

Diddnt know he was an ama member

RC HELICOPTERS RULE! JUST GOT MY GOBLIN 700 RAW. WOOHOO

Great video Jeff thank you for making this fun!! this should be a requirement vid for all rc piloting! maybe require quad companies to put a cd with this in every box sold in at least the US or at least a pamphlet or something~!

I love peanut

AMA all the way!

I love u all but bubba j. Has my heart did u get it

👍👍

The so-called drone in this skit is exempt from FAA regulations, because it is flown indoors and under weight restrictions....

lah-di-dah , Bubba steals Walter's line

Yeah, tell all that to Amazon and all the other delivery companies that want to use drones.

To bad the rules are so strict. I guess the fun had to go.

All the guys r great,just ask ong as they don't wake you up in the middle of the nite asking 4 a handout,twilight zone 😵

Hahahaha Jeff lol💕💞♥

uuuuh, I drink beer. My dream job when I turn 21 lol

They tooked all the fun, lol, kidding... or not?

well just the other day someone wss flying their drone (camera and everything ) over my school, hahaha my friend said if he sees it again he is going to throw a rock at it

AMA #348418, GREAT MAGAZINE TOO.

I have 2 favorites Achmed and Peanuts. I won't buy a drone I live 2 miles away from our local airport and many planes come close to where I live. Getting ready to land and taking off flying close by.

Same stuff different people. How about telling us quad pilots what the AMA is going to do for us.

I been AMA so long my #is only six digits.

The AMA did NOT make those rules. Some of that information is incomplete and wrong.

I live like 2 miles away from an airport and I still fly mine

"Keep hovering to play"

Privilege, it's a constiutional right, how about read the commerce clause! You also might consider reading what the commission of the FAA was about, you won't find toy regulation or backyards included, furthermore try reading Causby VS the United States, the FAA may not believe in limits to their jurisdiction, but there are, and drones are going to define exectly what those limits are. Finally the AMA is a private organization, it has no relationship with law or government. Notifying the tower is required, getting or asking for permission is not required, towers are not qualified or permitted to regulate model aircraft operations. If first responders are not present and you can use a drone to safe a life do it, manslaughter is failure to take the action to save a life when you have the capacity to do so. Finally the first amendment protects photography from the ground and the air, to that end if a news event occurs individuals have protections from prosecution by the FAA or local government. This is not legal advice, anything you do you do at your own risk as with everything government oriented they are setting up a profitable system to tax, fine, and collect money from hobbiests. The first step is always to give you a number followed by a permit or license, can't fish without a license soon you won't be able to fly a drone what out first paying someone for that right too.

Uhhh I drink beer

Pisses me off all the rules they meaning the government has put so many laws in effect about flying a drone you might as well not do it for a hobby

I am to in Ama but I don’t fly real planes 😂

I guess you can not fly them in the city, only fly up to 400 ft then down or you will fly over a person, car or house.

Bubba J you forgot 1 beer in your hand and the Drone controller in the other hand. 👍That would of been cool and funny. 😉

Peanut is the best

Kudos to Jeff and the AMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That thing in the background gave me an idea, how about a jeff dunham slot machine... contact bally about it. I'd love to see that in the rocksino near the Egyptian one.

How low is your AMA number Jeff-Fa-fa?

1:44 The Yugo wouldn't make it to the street

Imagine this with Ahmed

We actually linked this video in our site too to help folks learn. Http://www.rcdronehelp.com This video does a good job informing the public with RTF drones enough to hopefully keep there from being more regulation. Problem is that prior to Multirotors, you had to build, do a lot of learning, and then get success to fly it. Folks either tried it briefly and moved on, or hung with it. If they hung in, they joined AMA and were educated, safe, and insured. Folks now can buy a dangerous multirotor, and not think of the implications, if they see it as a camera platform, they don't join the AMA and no one ever teaches them the "anti-stupid" stuff... So we get regulated. Someone just has to do some education to non AMA members, and this video helis a ton! (That's what my site is for too)

It's ok for cars to crash into cars though.

I drink 🍻

Hahaha hahaha. DrEva

You

He don't look old to me.

400 feet is undo'able for models of any size....I fly below 400 feet right up until I pass thru it to 1500 feet....I NEVER endanger airtraffic!! I NEVER fly in a manner that can cause injury nor property damage!!IMHO, The AMA is complicit with the FAA...

IRCHA

rules setup by the ama? are you kidding me.

😆😆😆! I thought the "know" was spelt "no."

If you can't fly over personal property without permission then you can't fly anywhere but your house. That's kinda stupid.

Umm. Did I....umm Break the rules? My bad...... Did it get a bad guy? My bad. . So are you saying just don't get caught trying to do the right thing? . Or no these are the rules and you have to follow them..... on the record..... Off the Record...... no matter what you do where you go?

"Stay below 400 feet." Someone needs to tell the military that crap then. Had a C-130 Hercules fly over so low that I could see the co-pilots face and see the markings plain as day, and they weren't that high off the tree tops. If I had been out in the yard with my drone they would have struck the damn thing they were that low. Damn thing almost blew my damn hat off too.

l don't have a mom or dad
