My goal is to use an android and its camera along with the ardunino on board the blimp and to communicate and receive commands from another phone. And possibly use voice commands for control. Why? I have a ham license and a pilots license and I am an attorney, and right now as long as the FCC regs are not violated, there is almost no regulations yet. YET. How about a GOFUR, a blimp that will fly to or from the drugstore delivering medication for someone who has difficulty moving around. Search and rescue using the camera, or for taking pictures of events not viewer friendly. and maybe for following the cheating spouse. You name it. But right now the limit on both video and control is from the FCC but by using the cell, the limitations are eliminated which would allow someone to fly anywhere there is cell service or wifi.

The judge has dismissed a proposed $10,000 fine against businessman Raphael Pirker, who used a remotely operated 56-inch foam glider to take aerial video for an advertisement for the University of Virginia Medical Center.
The FAA alleged that since Pirker was using the aircraft for profit, he ran afoul of regulations requiring commercial operators of "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" -- sometimes called UAS or drones -- to obtain FAA authorization.
But a judge on Thursday agreed with Pirker that the FAA overreached by applying regulations for aircraft to model aircraft, and said no FAA rule prohibited Pirker's radio-controlled flight.
Thursday's ruling is believed to be the first to address the issue, but it was not immediately clear whether the FAA would appeal, or what impact it would have on others hoping to use drones for profit.
