Sure beats walking a grid through that tall obnoxious grass at Marymoor! I've had to do that a few times to find my planes.

Well I won't trust another nation's news now. But I don't think I need to worry about the British Broadcasting Corp lying to me about American drones... You are probably sore after that stretch.

Oh I didn't decide that. The courts decided that based on the evidence, or lack of evidence in their "news". FOX is an entertainment show.

Do you have a valid example? FOX is not news. They are an entertainment program (their words, not mine). They also settled a $1.6 Billion lawsuit for $787,000,000.00 for reporting fake news. They peddle in conspiracy theories and misinformation. Not a good example.

Not sure what you are asking specifically? Volunteering as civilian to aid Search and Rescue with your consumer drone? Yes, that is possible, if you have the qualifications. Or are you asking, worried that if you use your personal drone to find your lost family member, will you be in trouble...

The same thing is happening with me. I choose "optional cookies" when I open the website using Chrome (I rarely use the mobile site). For every single posted video or photo I get the same box telling me I must "click it to accept 3rd party cookies" before I can view the content. Been like...

Has anyone bothered to research this topic? Seems like nothing but assumptions here. Amazon is already using drones in certain parts of the country. Former co-worker in Texas has had a drone deliver items twice to his house. Cable drops the package down in his driveway immediately after...

Do any of you plan for an emergency? We should. I try to scope out a few spots where I could land emergently and be able to retrieve my drone on most of my flights. Few of us could do it as flawlessly as this Amazon drone did.

That is Torque, he is a Greyhound x Scottish Deerhound - so a fuzzy, taller than normal Greyhound looking goofball.

Imprisoned hopefully.

"Anyhow: officially it’s going on sale in Canada, Mexico, and every other country where DJI sells drones, but the company tells The Verge it has no timeline on bringing it to the US. DJI won’t honor its limited warranty if you cross the border to purchase one in Canada or Mexico."...

Sure, log into DJI chat and ask them. That is what I did after reading the fact that there is no warranty available in the US from several sources yesterday. DJI chat person said they have no US release date and and no US warranty or extended care would be offered on purchases outside of the...
