A DroneRadar24 site would certainly be a mess!! haha I would imagine the large commercial drones will end up having it first and as time marches on, everything that can fly will eventually be required to have it. It feels inevitable, IMO. They just mandated backup cameras in new cars. That...

I honestly can't see any reason why a drone operator would ever need to use a voice aviation frequency. I do expect them to require an ADS-B transmitter on all drones at some point in the not so distant future though

Awesome! I just had mine hit 4% over the ocean last week and just managed a narrow landing on the dock! I almost exclusively fly over the ocean in the Keys. I have like 500 miles at this point. I am on MA2 number 2 as I crashed into the power lines in the Everglades a few months back and it is...

Welcome from South Florida!

Welcome! What happened to the other two?

I've been on forums since Fidonet and this is one of the best ones I've ever used. All the moderators are awesome and the site is incredibly fast and well laid out. Stark contrast to most. Really happy I found it. Thank you to everyone involved including the great members that also use it!!

Beautiful footage and editing! Fiji is one of my favorite places to dive in the world. Wish I was stuck there for the pandemic!

I simply want an MA2 sized drone that has a normal/thermal camera switch and can do 120mph for 3 hours. Is that too much to ask???

Welcome. Good to see someone from around here on the forum. Even if you have a boat and have grown up in Broward County fearlessly tromping through the swamp, ready to eat anything that gets in your way, you probably won't find it... ;) I'm in a lucky uncontrolled sliver of Davie just east of...

I have a Windows Phone so my best option was to buy the 75$, 10.1" Pro ONN Walmart tablet, Works quite well. I rooted it and removed all the bloat so now it can sit there for a week and use up only 2% battery and is always ready. An anti glare screen protector is pretty necessary since the...

I have a cheap 6" drone that is pretty difficult to hover in place for the entire 8 minute flight duration in the living room!! I turn on the ceiling fan for extra points. A tight space and squirrely drone really helps prepare you for the pure VLOS flying you will end up doing as you get more...

On the bright side, climbing up in a tree beats searching in 4' deep Everglades swamp.

Fly over the ocean and you will never hit anything. ;) 300' is pretty high. I rarely get up there unless I am insanely far away and having signal issues.

I hit some power lines and mine fully shut down instantly. Yours seemed to film all the way down. Did you see the splash? I have been searching in the Everglades for mine for months now. I sure hope you find it!

I vote bird strike. Were they in the area??
