Try all the Land Rover forums- none of it. Odd blow up Exactly! If one wants to know what kind of acid will best dissolve a drone, how fast to hit a wall to guarantee destruction, how high to fly before it will ice up, then either give the answer, or move on!! If someone posts they want to...

And… correct me if I am wrong, “operate from”. In Australia, you could, for example, take off from a public road reserve and fly, for example, over a National Park (whether or not the area is “no drones”), barring other restrictions. But you could not take off from a road reserve, fly over a “no...

Yep! Agreed. But once that’s made clear, as with any other questions on this forum, be nice to see people just be helpful!

Yeah, exactly. They should know how they work and be able to push the boundaries. And they should be able to make choices that are SAFER that relying on the inbuilt programming for amateurs, in challenging situations. Like how a race car driver pushes the boundaries. Or I suppose they don’t know...

Why on earth do people on this forum judge each other so much? Being able to choose for yourself in different circumstances is great! Over area where there might be people or property, forced land. Over clear water or wilderness, run until empty if drone recovery isn’t possible. Even if you plan...

As in the control them via the law.

Nope it’ll likely do less damage (still some), plus it’s a known and unavoidable risk. A drone is a controllable risk: hence they are cleared out by law. In Australia at least, roads will be closed too. You are not able to enter certain emergency areas, even if you live there, once you leave...

No, it’s not - the planes and helicopters come low and fast. You won’t know they’re there until they’re on top of you. For example, a year ago we had a fire near where I live, at one stage 16 aircraft were assigned, including two Boeing 747s, which were doing nearly 1000km round trips to dump...

People ABSOLUTELY need to report drones near a wildfire. As a firefighter who may have their life dependent on aerial firefighting, which is called off if a drone is seen, I ABSOLUTELY APPLAUD a member of the public reporting a drone within an emergency area - including road accidents too, where...

And Hi from Denmark in WA, 50km west haha. Work in Albany during the day! “The Gap” might be a good learning place? :) Enjoy, and get in touch if you’re stuck or got questions about operations of Australian rules. Dave

Jeepers. What’s up with people. He posted feeling upset he’d noticed some apparent stress cracks, and how he’d fixed them. No one asked for opinions about the integrity of his drone’s history. Nothing constructive to add, don’t say anything! I would say the only two types of replies would be to...

There are plenty of reasons why one may want to not disclose one’s exact position. Whilst I have, in my country, no major issues with my position being disclosed to authorities, I would have major issues with it being disclosed to other parties. To this end, if it was legal to scramble my...

Anyone know what programs they use and perhaps what causes these mass crashes? They do seem to “descend” rather than try to return to home.

“Non-pubic safety drone flyers”? Eek. Drones and anything pubic is a recipe for painful disaster!

Interesting. Seems to be only for US residents though?
