    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    MYOB is always a good rule to follow. these people are unlikely to listen to you in any case

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    Now you are simply being ridiculous. I 100% stand by what I said and those are ridiculous analogies to make. You should know better. It's almost not even worth a reply. If I see someone flying BVLOS or flying from within a park for a quick stealth flight that harms no one, will I snitch ...

    Lost another drone

    I don't think you understood correctly. The OP of this thread, the guy who keeps losing drones, stated in this thread or one of the other threads he created that near the end of one of his flights he was trying to record some random kids he saw that were playing. He's got like 2-3 different...

    Lost another drone

    Yeah..I wasn't going to say anything but now that you have... OP was also talking about filming some random kids with his drone which is downright weird/creepy. Just today, I also read a post on a DJI group Facebook page where someone was bragging about using their drone to " mess with people...

    My EBay Experience

    Another shout out to Triple Horse. I bought a Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo from him on December 26 got $3600.00 and it was on my doorstep the following Tuesday. I'm pretty excited to fly it, but probably won't till winter is over. Not worth the risk to me to fly it in the cold and I also don't...

    Reminder: Service your batteries!

    This is something that I will never be able to keep track of and I certainly won't be running through all my batteries in a drone to get them to 60% Am I wrong in thinking that just leaving them in the charging station is sufficient ? They charge, than discharge automatically when not in use...

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    Not liking snitches is not grade school mentality. It is something that is guided by moral principles, and something that I feel deep inside of my psyche. I literally feel physically repulsed at the idea of being a snitch. It's quite simply not something I have control over. I understand...

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    I'm sure my response isn't going to be popular, but some of the rules involved are ridiculous and if someone can get away with violating some of them that doesn't involve potential damage to persons or property, I've no problem with them being broken, such as the no flying in state parks rule...

    A FRIEND FEARFUL TO FLY

    the first few times I flew my DJI drones I was like that... While I got over it, I am still not down with taking risks with them, like flying in winter/colder temperatures. I am sure there is some great footage to be had this time of year but the risk isn't worth it to me. In addition I...

    Dji purchases AFTER Christmas

    It's this: " The " DJI retroactive ban" refers to potential U.S. actions, especially from the FCC and Congress, to block future DJI drone imports and sales by revoking certifications for existing approved devices due to national security concerns, though current drones likely won't suddenly...

    Well I guess it wasn’t just Skydio

    On paper they may have stricter labor laws, but I work with many Chinese nationals and from what I gather enforcement is spotty. As for as UHC, college, etc...of course they have all of that. They are Communists/Socialists so just about everything is subsidized, and 1k a year colleges sound...

    Well I guess it wasn’t just Skydio

    It's an oversimplification probably, but all of them combined ( OHSA, min wage, H.C. ) are what will prohibit manufacturing here on the scale it exists in China and will allow things to be delivered at a comparable price point to what can be made there. I am not saying any of those things we...

    Well I guess it wasn’t just Skydio

    thank about what the labor practices are probably like in China. There is a reason why they have beaten us at manufacturing and our labor laws and the stranglehold unions have here have played a role whether you want to believe it or not. I am not saying its the sole reason, nor am I...

    Well I guess it wasn’t just Skydio

    Yet we still are not energy independent. While we don't rely on the Saudis as much as we once did, it is unlikely they will play those games with us again. As far as all this Nat. Sec. stuff as it pertains to domestic manufacturing, I've said it before. That ship sailed long ago and is not...

    Best and worst aspects of drone flying

    Negative on all counts. I've looked into all of that when I have the time to do so.
