Ive always found mocking birds to extremely aggressive.

You’ll find there are plenty of paces to fly, like most things California, you may just have to trek to get there.

Thanks for making that point as I have just always assumed the rule applied to both.

We all (in the US at least) may be required to fly using LAANC Hobbyist drone pilots will need to use LAANC

If Ive learned anything, its have the right tool for the project. Makes any project easier. The bench is a great tool for a ton of projects. My neighbor uses it for making jewelry, I use it for drones, my truck sometimes even minor repair of furniture or other simple wood working projects. If...

Nice ride

It’s been a while, but i think i used a metric 2 or 2.5? Those nuts are pretty small and I recall the the bit was just small enough to fit almost perfectly in the head of the nut. It did work out nice because once i got into the meat of the threaded part of the nut, the top just popped...

I have ‘77 Bronco that requires me to have large quantities of tools, and I’ve bought a lot of them from Harbor. Their stuff strikes a great balance between price and quality.

I had a similar issue happen opening up my Lightbridge ground module. When even the flathead option didnt work, I ended having to very very carefully bench drill the head off the nut, then use pliers to unscrew the rest of the nut once I got cover off. No beuno but worked.

Sorry to hear about the crash. It sounds like sport mode is not your friend.

My first jump was from a skyvan which is basically a giant shoe box with wings. Pure joy from the minute they swung the back door up. My daughter was a little more apprehensive, but one jump and she was hooked. The feelings can be very similar and I find even though I’m on the ground, I still...

I live on a lake and put my first F550 in the drink within 3 weeks of getting it airworthy. My second custom I told myself I’m not flying at all around my area, just not going to risk it. But I soon found that just about everywhere I fly I’m at risk. I’m surrounded by mountains, lakes and the...

Ive always like the view from above. My dad was pilot so I grew up with airplanes. Never had the time or money when I was younger to get my private license, but my daghter and I spent a number of years skydiving. Now that I could afford to fly, I have too many other hobbies that consume a lot of...

I use the same mount when not flying with my goggles. There are similar holders out there, but for the price, this cant beat and is a solid unit.

Mighty close shave.
