Yes scary flying around public areas to get that shot. I have done numerous test with "Self Landing" feature that pretty well everyone forgets about that uses the SAVS. I am able to shut down radio while in flight, the SAVS will drop down but will then maintain flight. Once radio is turned on again draganflyer will respond like normal. The only thing that makes me nervous is having another radio with same frequency in range. There is no solution for that.
Blimp RC are more likely to be used in that kind of situation.

Hope you've got serious public liability insurance because my SAVS used to fall out the sky from CB failures. Lots of people have the same problem!

i agree with Dirk. What is the chances for interference and loosing it in a crash. Or worse yet crashing into someone.
