Thank you! Seeing 'drone' attached to these reports or the Colorado / mid-west hoorah from last year just erodes my faith in the ability of folks to apply critical (or any really) thinking to what they read / view on TV / phone / computer. If anyone had taken the time to read the text of the...

I haven't found this on the forums and having just recently started using it myself thought to share. You can get all antennas per zipcode or state, or by owner, etc. Zipcode search is the one most useful to us I believe as you get all towers registered and can display them on a map. Each...

UNLESS you are a Federal Employee, appointed cabinet member or elected official. See: James Comey determination re: Hillary Clinton, IG Horowitz's determination re: James Comey, et. al. For us, the rabble, you are absolutely correct. Sad that in a country founded on the basis of equal...

True, will remember this for the next post containing acronyms. Thank you for your service. Did you go to school in lovely Groton,CT perchance or were you surface fleet? badgenes

Totally agree re: drones, perhaps the second paragraph wasn't clear in this regard. I'm more comfortable carrying than flying a drone in a city park :( I only fly out in the sticks anymore.

Speaking of gun ownership...taking my CHL class next week and in 6 weeks should have my license to carry. It's ridiculous the attitude towards those of us who both enjoy shooting and feel a strong desire to project those we love and random strangers in the event something terrible happens when...

Oops belay that query. I'd updated my handset but not my tablet.

I see the post about Kittyhawk but after updating and attempting to request approval I am prompted for Part 107 info. Anyone else having this issue in Android?

I just discovered this and came looking here myself. Amazing, private industry not ready to handle new government policy. Well hopefully sometime today. Any other way to submit requests for authorization?

Typical crowd behavior. Ostracizing the rule breaking or otherwise non-conforming individuals serves at least two crucial purposes: reinforcing the status of the individual as a member of the group via respect for group norms and separating the offender in a dehumanizing way from the group...

Yessir, my aging eyes are precisely why I need to get a tablet. I used my Galaxy s7, then s8 with my P4 and Mavic at first...but my eyesight was already deteriorating when I got the P4 and by the time the Mav was in the fold I could not clearly read my phone without cheaters. I quit flying for...

I hear you. However I see folks stating they use Lenovo Tab 4 in the controller and it is over that 160 mm in height (so sideways its over 160). Soooo....am I referencing the wrong dimension or what?

If anyone has this tablet are you able to fit it into the controller or did you need to purchase a third party mount? Thanks!

Been away and was reading backwards. Had I read the previous first I would just referred you to that post. Easy: these individuals do not fly in a manner that violates the CURRENT laws / regulations and / or more importantly do not fly in a manner that endangers others whether or not there is...

In going to pile on with the point about legislation and who pays attention to it. I ranted about this during the Gatwick BS so I'll keep it short: the fliers who require limits to tell them it isn't safe to fly where heavy low altitude air traffic frequents either lack the cognitive horsepower...
