But the two don't operate in the same airspace so there's no point. Fixed wings are over 1000 feet, drones are under 1000 feet (and typically under 500 feet).

Your assertions are extra annoying when they're factually wrong. See FAA Advisory Circular 91-57, it limits your drone, as well as all model aircraft, to 400 feet. You're off by 600 feet.

But thanks for the example of clueless drone advocates, who just want what they want because they want it.

At first I thought the various posts calling some drone operators morons were being harsh. Now I don't.
