Certainly impressive! Not that hard to check Ukrainian drone laws to find out the maximum altitude AGL for a UAV in that country is 120 metres. Drone rules and laws in Ukraine - current information and experiences IMHO perhaps best not to advertise - shout from the rooftops - ascending to an...

A definite solution to "pesky birds". I think it has some (untested) possibilities! Depending on your model of UAV, good mounting points might need to be worked on. Flight times could also be pretty short on a single charge of a Lipo. Multi battery UAVs might achieve reasonable flight times if...

Stupid is certainly possible to fix. Overworking the Chaplain wouldn't be fair though! ??

I was unsure who or how I should communicate with as I could not locate a contact us type option. As such, the 'Off Topic' post was the best means I could find.

First time, not 100% certain. Second attempt, without a doubt. I have experienced exactly the same issue with the 'YuneecPilots' forum subscription preference, hence putting my query out to Forum moderators and/or system administrators; but only after logging out and back in, as well as waiting...

A message to the Moderator or the 'Sys Admin' teams. Twice I have attempted to change subscription preferences for this forum from 'daily' to 'weekly', including logging out and back in. There has been no change even though the subscriptions correctly reflect the choices made around two weeks...

Regardless of whether you fly recreationally or as a commercial operator, DJI's NFZ system will require an unlock process be followed - at least for the Mavic series, if you wish to fly in a restricted area. No getting around it! I don't disapprove of the concept. But it has unfortunately not...

I can't remember exactly when in 2017 I purchased my first UAV aircraft or why I choose DJI. All I remember at the time I saw an ex-demo Inspire 1 for sale was that it was going to be the very best I could buy because, albeit second hand, it was made by DJI. In many ways that aircraft was the...

Combine the photographic possibilities of both a UAV and a ROV into a winning combination

Hah! I can kind of visualise the effect of a 60cal on a quad. If you could find a piece of blade worth reshaping, the next problem might be to find a piece of the airframe worth attaching it too. ? :D I'm struggling to write this as I laugh at the mental picture I am seeing. o_O As already...

Sadly, history sets the precedent here. I'm picking this assumptions made have not come with the backing of any real health related knowledge! The reason why "Influenza A", commonly referred to as "the flu", is not seen to be so contagious is because there is a vaccine for it. Even that vaccine...

Thought about this a bit more after my previous post. A bit of physics has become a larger part of my thinking here. I can appreciate we are not talking about an F35 here, but some of the same principles still apply, and I doubt most UAV quads have any sort of built in redundancy to take...

Agree with the comments posted. That prop is gone:- no question. In the early period after I bought my M2P (2018), I changed all props after 10 hours logged flying time. Now I am more comfortable with a 20 hour cycle. Each set (2 pair) that has been replaced is kept as emergency spares for the...

Probably not appropriate to confuse a particular political ideology with regulations and public safety measures being acted upon the world over. SARS-COV 2 doesn't recognise political or geographic boundaries - hence COVID-19 continuing to run totally unchecked. Collectively, we should all work...

Maybe those thoughts have been influenced by the official 'Board of Pessimists'. Nothing about UAVs seems boring to me, even in this period of severe pandemic measures! Had a lot of relaxing enjoyment practicing taking off from a fairly confined 2m x 1.8m area of concrete patio on my 480sq...
