    Best "starter" drone?

    But my favorite is..... Boom and zoom" is an aerial combat tactic, primarily used in simulations like War Thunder, where a faster, more powerful aircraft attacks a slower, more maneuverable one by diving on it from above, firing, and then quickly climbing away to regain altitude and energy...

    Best "starter" drone?

    Ahhh.....ok.....😉 "Yanking and banking" refers to a flight maneuver where an aircraft is rolled into a bank using ailerons and then pulled back on the elevator to create a turning motion. It's a fundamental way to change direction in flight"

    Best "starter" drone?

    My first thought is the cost and will your son really get into it. "Starter drones" are not inexpensive. At least not the DJI variety. You can spend hundreds of dollars+ and it ends up in the closet. The only requirement I would look for is GPS, brushless motor and a camera. Get it and let him...

    Solar Flares - did anyone notice ?

    The Amateur Radio HF Bands were almost dead yesterday. I heard a handful of stations and could not contact any of them. The impact was severe on HF. Up there in the higher frequencies of the Drone world. Not so much. Keep on yanking and banking.

    Solar Flares - did anyone notice ?

    How flying a drone led to an arrest....

    Sounds a lot like the dufus who gets stopped on the road. " I am not driving, I am traveling. I am a sovereign citizen" In the Army we called them chit house lawyers. Treat people with respect as you want to be treated and the guy would have walked away. Easy peasey.

    NYC Hilton hit by drone at 3am. Hotel guest identified as operator.

    In the South....we call that "ate up with the dumba*s". Common sense just flies away with the drone.

    Cheap used batteries

    The term "refurbished" is misleading. Can't refurbish a drone battery. Unless it's a high gloss wax and wrapping.
