Geez, how could ASL and AGL get so complicated? Now we should spend time discussing ground speed as opposed to air speed LOL! On another note. Belgium is a beautiful country. There are two "official" languages. Flemish and French with a small German speaking population. If you go you should...

Most honey bees in this part of the country are a hybrid of the European and the African honey bee. They react much different to anything they believe is an invasion and do so with a major swarm. You cannot out run them and they will wait for you if you jump in the water or inside cover.

Bob, I do a lot of hunting and many times I stop and talk with land owners about hunting their property. The first few words out of my mouth sets the tone for the conversation and whether I will get to hunt or not. Some people just seem to sink their boat without really trying. Cop an attitude...

I think that is what he meant by "go ahead and set the tone". That won't start the conversation off on a friendly tone.

You got most of it right but if you tell a person they are trespassing and need to leave, and they remain they can be arrested. If your property is legally posted, and there are specific laws for what is legal signage there is no need to verbally tell them. He then informed that he could not...

This is a funny topic. I started RC flying in 2006. I learned from some old timers who used finger and thumb but I started out with thumbs and found the finger thing unnatural, at least for me. I fly/flew many different warbirds and other RC and never had a control issues. I tried switching...

When I first started RC flying, more than a few years ago, my mentor and trainer told me that it is better not to fall in love with any of my aircraft because they all have an expiration date on them and you really never know what that date is until you reach it. I went a number of years after...

Our Canyon Lake is actually in a canyon. :) Nice video. Those trees can be annoying at times.

Google translate it and see what comes up. A on the end makes it you. Since I speak Russian, I do have some knowledge of the language.

Spasibo is thank. Spasiba is thank you. Just in case you need to speak Russian in the near future :) поблагодарить = Thank благодарю вас = Thank you In any case it is a very good video.

Great video! Very nicely done and kept my attention all the way through. The location is actually the ghost city of Prypiat. It along with the reactor suffered the worst of it.

The other question is, where was this? There seems to be no background provided with this so one has to wonder what the circumstances were and where emergency responders were? I find it strange that no info is available.

Point is I think you are grasping at straws. This was not a good decision in any way shape or form. It is likely that had he been caught by responders he would have been referred for charges. You just don't fly in those situations, period. And from the size of the fire no-one needed a drone to...

Do you know that for a fact? Do you know if air units are on the way or in the area? I am sure the OP's heart was in the right place but this was a bad decision that could endanger emergency crews, air crews and people on the ground by giving bad information to those who might be affected. If...

And do you know when that is? You get up and the first helo comes in and now you force the emergency aircraft out of the area. Sorry, there is no way to justify flying a drone at an emergency scene, at any time! Just an example, the Wallow fire in eastern AZ and western NM burned about 650,000...
