    PKK’s bomb-laden Mavic drone seized in Turkey’s east

    Drones for combat purposes seem far more likely in combat zones where they can be used for scouting and or dropping weapons from a safe distance. Domestically they are not really needed and thus why we haven't seen anything yet (knock on wood). If someone wants to bomb a target in a soft...

    Line of Sight - Are most flights illegal?

    Yeah let's be honest here everyone has probably flown beyond LOS at some point because it is 1) easy to do and 2) safe as long as you are not being an idiot about it. It's like texting and driving I guess... people do it. Tough to prove unless someone comes up to you as you are flying and asks...

    Reporting FAA map errors

    That airmap app is supporting congressional bills that would kill recreational UAV use. I'd delete that app and simply use the faa one.

    Minneapolis/St. Paul area

    Which map are you referring to? Please see following three references. 1) FAA Official online map really doesn't show much but this map does include other NFZs that the FAA has worked with NPS on such as Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore etc. 2) DJI NFZ Map - Nothing except surrounding...

    Minneapolis/St. Paul area

    Could be right but nothing comes up using official FAA B4UFly except that you notify the airport (aprx 4.5 miles Walker field). Nothing on DJI app also except the airport. I thought Mississippi River area is toward St Paul and Minneapolis though?

    Introducing the new Cyclone Antenna System

    Bought this and did the self install using their Youtube video.. very easy and well done! So far I absolutely love it. I fly and operate in wooded / wifi suburbs and this thing performs like a charm! I'll get around to some actual recorded testing now that i'm using Airdata UAV .com
