Point is that drones are only allowed up to 120m, manned aircraft only down to 150m, so there is never any interferernce possible if respected in normal operations with a nice buffer zone nobody gets in. Obviously both occasionally blow their limits, but if an accident happens the drone pilot...

I usually just cut off and replace the connector. Note that the battery will likely be almost twice the weight which the heli may not appreciate in many different ways.

Flying above 120m requires you to request autorization to do so in any case. You can't apply for that without a license so the limit for unlicensed C0 aircraft is 120m. You can switch it to C1 to remove that, but then legally need to be licensed and request authotization when you want to fly...

I think you're getting through, just people again don't agree with you. It seems an offence was committed. Does the Constituiton specifically say that a police officer should see the offence directly through their own eyes to be able to prosecute it instead of seeing it on a screen through a...

In that example in the OP it looks like the government/police both enforced a reasonable law and did so with the tool that was most effective at doing so. So what's your point? That having the ability to do the right thing means the wrong thing could be done too? If so you don't need drones for...

How would we know?

If you have the the original purchase receipt with the SN on it and it was never marked as stolen yes. That still means a large number of phones ending up as bricks and people buying phones they won't be able to use because the original receipt is lost/not transferred. There is a procedure to...

Apple's orders of magnitude larger and has been doing that for more than a decade without consequence, I wouldn't expect a few drone users to have more weight than >50% of the smartphone market.

The drone won't know you modded it to be under 250 so it'll still send.

A terrible attempt at a moon photo.

Don't you need to actually have one of their reps present to witness the attempt at great expense when you want one of those? Even if you could get DJI to read those for you the logs rotate, it'll only hold the last few flights so unless you barely flew since they're probably long gone.

Always doing the opposite, extending the sticks for finer control.

That's the strength of the signal but doesn't mean anything about the ability to connect to any particular service. Besides the need to login/register public WiFi services often block a bunch of things other than basic web browsing so not surprising it wouldn't work.

Yeah this has to be damage caused by crushing the bag while stored or such. Stress cracks would be a fine line but it wouldn't separate that far, there had to be some force applied.

No better than either logic or people then, just different failure modes but that will be unknown while we know the existing ones :D
