Why not ask someone on Facebook ?????

Thanks! That's fairly specific. Was just wondering about general feasibility.

Questions first or they get lost near the bottom. This is about the upcoming UAS location information sharing from the FAA. What would be a reasonable range of radio transmission for UAS to other aircraft? How much would such a device weigh? Excerpt from FAA overview: Remote identification...

There are tethered drones (assuming you did not mean ballons)? I remember some time ago reading FAA regs that spoke of tethered aircraft and a power requirement. I thought then, and now, even more, of tethering my Mavic 2 to escape some requirements! I don't remember anything that required the...

I can't imagine why anyone would fly at a club based flight zone, other than initial training. Not a lot of skill needed for today's quadcopters. It's not a crowd-pleaser since spectators can't see them in the air! Club based airfields make good sense for rc fixed wings. They are large and...

Things to come...…….

I had just written to Senator Lee, my Senator, and was pleased to hear all my concerns voiced in the video above. I, however, did not include concerns in my questions about manned flight. I have requested a reply for more details and hope I don't just receive a pre-prepared response.

Sounds like jamming control frequencies present a safety hazard for those on the ground. Legal?

Where would I find assistant 2 ver1.1.2. I checked DJI and Drone U. DJI goes as low as ver 1.2.5. (not specific to Mavic)

WHY IS THERE A DISTINCTION AT ALL? That is Hobby or Commercial.

These are breathtaking. I've not been anywhere this year as good! Thanks for sharing!

This is 2019? Where is this?

So, you think aliens are shooting at your drone, and they continually miss? How embarrassing for the aliens!

EXACTLY, there is no pilot in command, no visual line of sight! That's exciting, give the drone a ticket, I'm not flying it ! Oh well, the down side is that it can't possibly take the picture that I would, and that's what I'm in this for.

This is the best (and there are many out there) hand catch tips. It may even be the safest. This is off YouTube, it may be posted here somewhere, I can't find it. Dragon7 has few tips, but they are always great!
