    Drone shot down in UK.

    Incidentally, why are hunt sabs always masked? I guess so they can get away with their trespassing and their aggressive behaviour without getting themselves arrested. Genuine protesters have a point of view, but they don't cover their faces to make it!

    Drone shot down in UK.

    I totally agree with every word you say. I hunt (in UK), and can tell you that a drone used over private land by an aggressive sab is pretty unacceptable. They are always trying to 'prove' that the hunts are carrying out illegal acts, but despite numerous attempts over the years, have never had...

    Wasp Removal Tool

    Well, actually, hornets do not pollinate. They are carnivores - eating other insects + my bees. But I agree with you - I hate to see them destroyed without good reason. Hornets don't attack you if you let them be.

    Why you shouldn't buy a Mavic 2 or any drone that relies on your phone.

    Although I disagree with the original writer of this thread, I do agree with him that the USB connector is not ideal. I use a USB C, and had to return my phone for repair (thankfully under warranty!) when my Mavic Pro controller damaged the socket. I'm now super- careful, and very nervous each...

    Launch and return to boat

    My pennyworth. I've been with a chum who flew his Mavic Pro extensively from a large but static steel boat with no problems. I've also been with a chum who successfully flew a Phantom 3 Pro from a small moving fibreglass motorboat several times. Only issue was I had to hand launch and catch it...
