Hi Friends... surgery went well last Tuesday, I have a new lease on life 👍🏻 thank you everyone for your k8ndness... gonna be a week or two before I can chat more

Hi all... I was admitted to the hospital Friday after some mild chest pain. After all the tests, I'm headed into the OR for a triple bypass tomorrow morning.The prognosis is excellent, as i did not have a heart attack with damage to the heart muscle. My heart is strong and healthy, but I've...

@Cafguy I'm confused as to who's speaking in your post between the normal, italic, and bold paragraphs. I'm guessing a previous post that some of this appeared in was edited or deleted...

I was saying the exact same thing, albeit in a much more confusing way 😁 I think where this gets unclear is, how do you fly under the cloud? What is "beside"? Can you be 600ft below the bottom of the cloud and 1500ft to the side of it? That's the "interesting", ambiguous area, and I think...

LDM is nothing special. It simply means the system works as normal with no internet connection by the RC. Put your phone in Airplane mode, or turn off wifi on the integrated DJI RC (various models, Smart, Pro, etc.) and you're in LDM. You're drone will fly just fine. That's it. Nothing...

And Grok got it all wrong. The requirement is simple. There is a vertical cylindrical volume in the shape of the cloud perimeter and 2000ft away, radially, from the edge. That volume is cut by a horizontal plane 500ft below the cloud. You are to stay out of that volume. A better way of stating...

Calm down a bit, you're getting hysterical. I'll post a YT video of me jaywalking against a red light, and testify my intent to keep doing so again and again when I feel like it for the rest of my life. I'm 100% confident I will not only NOT be confronted by law enforcement authorities at all...

Sorry, I'm too much of an idiot to answer such brainy questions. :p

It most certainly does. The state your in can have a profound impact on both conviction, and punishment after conviction. For example, if your in a state of insanity, this can be used as a successful defense 😁😁😁

Didn't expect you to. Also don't generally believe people engaged in virtue signaling. Anyway, the point was simple... disparaging people as "idiots" for doing something like lose site of the drone or screen momentarily is, well, idiotic 😁

What everything we discussed here can be summarized as is a Game of Chicken.

I survey eBay for the same or similar used bundles to see what the going price is. I sold exactly this setup (A2S FMC + DJI RC) on eBay about 18 months ago for $750.

An encouraging change that will add to this being forgotten is the main sponsor in Congress, Elise Stefanik, has left, appointed by President Trump to be UN Ambassador.

You're an idiot, then. I have no doubt at all that you have been flying and taken your eyes off the screen and aircraft, at some point. Claim otherwise if you'd like, I won't bother with the argument, but no one will believe you. Also, I'd point out that all sorts of fine people do idiotic...

Yes. Yes also. The regulatory requirement for VLOS is you can see the drone well enough to discern it's attitude and orientation, so that you know exactly what will happen with any control input. Honest people will acknowledge that even for the youngest with the most exceptional vision...
