    What can be done while Corona Virus isolation is on for me?

    whilst in lockdown in New Zealand it was forbidden for any type of recreational aircraft to fly and that was extended to drones and all model aircraft This was mainly to stop the need for first responders like police ,fire, ambulance to have to interact with anyone unless absolutely necessary...

    Mavic 2 Pro - screw mixup - need help rebuilding

    Why do you use multiple drones?

    I enjoy building drones so have a large collection of older school drones that fly really well and I enjoy flying them purely because I built them from kits or scratch I also have a big pile of race type drones which mostly end up being beaten on and then the parts recycled to build...
