While those two clips, of the GGB and the GC may have been "bad" ~ I don't think they hold a candle to this one:

My new setup / rig: (As you may or may not be able to tell) I opted for the PGYTECH V2 ( Amazon.com ) and I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-128gb-wi-fi-gray/6492908.p?skuId=6492908 ) Can't wait to actually get back in the air !!!

I could "see" that (smaller screens being better for 'framing') but, larger screens I would think would be better for SAR type "missions" (search and rescue). So, like with *everything* else in life/reality: There's "pros and cons" to *EVERYTHING* ;)

That would be quite a hike for me, as I am down between Phoenix and Tucson in the CG (Casa Grande) area; but maybe one day, somewhere, we could meet up...!

What area are you in/around ~ if you don't mind my asking? I'm always open to meeting new flying friends! I am in/near the Casa Grande area myself ;)

Oh, and it's not like I have "nothing" to keep cool. I have (or will have) a hot tub, pool, and an evaporative "swamp" cooler! I just don't need AC! (I am completely off grid and so AC is literally just a WASTE of the other kind of AC, Alternating Current) ;) I am also just "DONE" with...

Yes. To be technical the car did come with AC, it's merely "broken". The only problem is, I drive a Prius (work and personal car at this point) because I do driving for work (uber lyft doordash etc). And the compressor is SHOT. Well, on a Prius the compressor itself is like $2000; so, I will NOT...

I re-reviewed, because I wanted to know for sure, the user manuals for some of the drones in my "fleet". It does appear my 95°F was too low; most of them DO appear to say that "OPERATING TEMPERATURE" is indeed 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) At least that is what is says in the manual for my: DJI...

I'll be honest, I did not read this thread at all; just the title. I am here to say: There is NO such thing as "un-hackable" (that is all)

Many of the user manuals or general information I have seen/read states that you pretty much shouldn't fly in or above something like only 95°F !!! I personally think I'd probably actually go up to about 100° or MAYBE even 105°; I think I'd say 105° is about where I personally start to get...

Did ya miss me (j/k)

When I first started this hobby, I was SO "gung ho" I was flying literally every day. It did consume my life, a lot of it! I also started building a "fleet" so I could also try many different machines. I started studying for my 107 and so on and so forth. Then, it happened. My "drone phone" as I...

I have stopped caring about "lists" pretty much all-together. Mainly because there is honestly a "list" for just about anything you can imagine. Probably because someone at ONE of these alphabet soup agencies "cares" about said "lists". I do know, if you own a motorcycle ~ you're on a list...

On a case by case basis, HAD it actually been a "mistake"; I'd be fine with a "warning"! This "YOU KNOW WHAT" was such an arrogant pr^©k that if you pay attention to the comments, he literally commented that ~ if he got enough "likes" or whatever, he'd add the video of the FAA and or FBI...

I really hope they completely throw the book at Dailon Dabney. Full and max sentencing INCLUDING PRISON TIME (to the max). He is (seemingly) an arrogant pr^©k!
