    "There is no DJI ban." Let's call it a restriction.

    One does not have to be several bong hits into the evening to realize that our airspace, 0 to 400' AGL, is about to become extraordinarily valuable to commercial interests. Extraordinarily valuable. Amazon, Walmart, UPS, FedEx, and a lot more entities are all working on drone-based deliveries in...

    Why do I suspect that if there was a different president in power you would be on the other side of your argument?

    Add more visibility to your Drone

    This is what I do, too. I use Vifly beacon/beeper on top and run nav lights, too. The Vifly beacon is the big rig-saver ... it has saved several drones and fixed-wing AC for me. Best $15 you'll ever spend.

    Full Sail University opens Drone Innovation Center.

    Never, ever go to a for-profit school. Heck, I would extend that by saying never go to an online college, either, unless you already have a degree from an in-residence college or you have no other choice. Please read that last line again before you flame me. Taking certificate or supplemental...

    Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Chinese Drones. (By Vic Moss).

    There is so much to say to your simple-minded jingoism but I won't cast my pearls before seditious swine that live to hate everyone not like them.

    So what now?...

    The lack of clarity by the regulators is so GD frustrating.

    Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Chinese Drones. (By Vic Moss).

    There literally has been no evidence provided to justify the US Customs embargo based on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Zero. Nothing. Nor is there any evidence that our DJI drones are a threat to national security and are reporting back to the CCCP mothership. But the lack of any...

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    RC transmitter gloves and fingerless wool gloves are my go-to tools for winter flying. https://www.amazon.com/transmitter-glove/s?k=transmitter+glove

    So what now?...

    Say it, Brother. I make a sizeable portion of my living by flying drones and sh*ts about to get real. I also believe that the real reason we are getting screwed is that the FCC is ready to hand over our airspace to Amazon and its peers for package delivery. Banning DJI knocks out the vast...

    Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Chinese Drones. (By Vic Moss).

    Given that Baby Caligula is POTUS and the GOP Congress spends its time pleasuring him, and both use the Constitution as toilet paper, this ban is a done deal. Now I am trying to figure out if I should activate my spare Air3 and Avata2 as well as my O4 Pro air units before the ban.

    Albany Times Union Article: U.S. lawmakers seek less reliance on Chinese drones

    We have reached peak corruption in government, that's for sure. On topic, my biggest issue is that for my work I fly in a lot of risky places ... forest understories, stream and riparian corridors, steep slopes and crags, etc. The risk of losing a machine that can't be replaced has definitely...

    Stefanik answers to Trump and only Trump. As as we've seen, unless DJI offers him a bribe, it's goodbye DJI.
