Just a taste of a project I'm involved with at Fordham University's Cyber Security and Intelligence Group and the Ferrante Group. Phase one is getting wrapped up, with the second phase pending research funding. A lot of 3DR technology is used in this!

But I do have to echo the comment regarding the people on the ground, this is very much the behavior we should discourage.
The explanation of it being hard to find a spot is nonsense. I live in a city as well, yet you will never find me flying a quad above anyone but myself. Actually, if anyone comes within 80m or so I will just land it and wait for the gawkers to move on.
If I need to quickly test something for a minute or two I go find an empty parkinglot big enough and keep altitude at or below 10m and as mentioned land as soon as I see another person coming. Easy to do, and even more so at night. And my quad is about 350gram takeoff weight and soft props, all carbon/plastic frame.
Use common sense, fly where there are no bystanders or other uninvolved people if you absolutely have to fly in an urban area, and keep altitude low enough to be below walls/trees etc so its likely to snag on those if it goes pearshaped.
This is interesting. What max altitude were yoyu able to get?
If you're going to be flying over people it should be with foam planes and not multi-rotors......

I use is a jail broken iPhone mounted on my quad running WiFi2Me or WiFiFoFum for mapping WiFi hotspot to google earth Much simpler system just for fun
@Adrian, finding open field with no people around in NYC is fairly difficult, we tried our best to minimize bystanders being in the environment. That said, we actually launched with no one on a field (miracle!) but, people wandered onto it. 8)
Looks like someone is running aireplay-ng....
Flying it over kids = not clever
