Before dumping all over Rabber, th OP, I guess nobody bothered to look up the fact that the sculptures are NOT in Anzo Borrego State Park. They are on private property, the Galleta Meadows Estate, which is open to the public. I found no rules online that banned flights by UAS. Yeah, they are in...

Like many here, I try to be as polite as possible, but I'm relatively unimpressed by control freaks. If someone is interested in my drone and flight, I'll happily spend time with them and explain everything they want to know. If it's some control freak trying to exert authority, I'm under no...

I liked the image stability when you were deep in the cave! Either the precision image sensors were doing a great job, or you’re very steady at the controls in ATTI mode, because I can’t imagine you had GPS lock in there.

No, but I do index my trigger finger not only when handling firearms but when using a cordless drill, pressure washer wand, weed eater, etc. Force of habit!

Goo Gone is primarily xylene, if you can find that. Naptha (lighter fluid) might also work. Just don't saturate the surface with it.

I have some Celestron 10x42s, lower end priced (I think around $120) they are okay, but not terrific. For the price I think Burris offers slightly better optics - I have a set of those, too. Vortex makes some great optics in all price ranges from a couple hundred up to a couple thousand. I...

I commented positively on the legislation about 2 weeks ago. As a Washingtonian, it seems like the two states compete hard to see which one can restrict the most freedoms.

A firmware fix might be in the works (who knows!?) but aftermarket accessory add-ons are also in the works as well. You should be able to retrofit an A2S with RID, as well as other drones.

Pack as much C-4 on it as I could make stick, and dive bomb a Russian artillery installation.

Unless they have some illicit activity going on in the back yard that they don't want anyone to know about. Not all concerns about "spying" are directly related to personal privacy concerns. I have a neighbor with whom I was on great terms up until about a year ago. I'd fly my drone over to...

Maybe put a temporary, contrasting ‘X’ on the roof that will last during construction and be removed later?

I agree with your general procedure. I treat it like the procedures for a light plane - walkaround inspection, check the fuel (battery charge), remove any covers or plugs, then do a run up and test the controls before launching into your mission. With a plane, you test the controls on the...

Make sure you pick up a compatible grease gun for all those miniZerk fittings. And change the drone oil at regular intervals. just kidding!,,
