jealous I live in Oregon and this winter the Western US is in the worst snow drought in history. There's very little water content in the mountain snowpack and that could presage a disastrous wildfire season this summer

I was 'already over 30 years old' in 1983 and I bought my first drone 5 years ago. Age is no barrier to being able to navigate a learning curve, and the navigation can be fun

maybe, although most of those he listed are still available if you follow the links

sounds like a lawyer

"longest flight" and battery life can be two different things

expecting the current federal government to have a coherent policy that is consistent across departments is like expecting a horse to play a violin or a whale to use AI to search for plankton.

I hadn't ever really thought about it but I did today I have a Mini 2 with 5 batteries Mini 3 Pro with 5 batteries Mavic 3 with 5 batteries Mavic 4 Pro with 3 batteries the first 3 drones all have a dedicated RC-N1's. And the Mavic 4 Pro has the RC Pro 2. And when flying the first 3 drones I...
