    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...

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

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

    Air 3 Alaska From Southeast through the Aleutians on a crab boat

    Help, I can't get my jaw off of the floor. Stunning, absolutely and utterly stunning. Well done, Pilot!

    Army Secretary says U.S. Army is Learning from Ukraine Conflict.

    They should have ordered a half-million Mavics years ago. And as part of the acquisition process, certified that there is no link back to the mother ship. Then we wouldn't be dealing with this ban nonsense, too. But now that the freak-in-chief's son is involved with US drone-makers, we're...

    The ol' Mavic Pro still flies like a dream...

    The great thing about the MP and M2P is that they both can fly automated waypoint missions beyond the range of the transmitter-receiver link. Not that we would ever do that, of course.

    Best Frequency for Forest Flying

    Agreed. Leaf-off season is much better. Regarding forest stream flying, I do it often and it's difficult without goggles, or a 13" ipad w/hood. I end up using the Avata for a lot of this kind of work.

    Best Frequency for Forest Flying

    Thanks for your service as one of the unsung heroes protecting our national lands. God bless and I hope that retirement is all you've dreamed it to be.

    Pete Hegseth's Three Goals for Producing Small Drones

    Our military's future is now in the hands of idiots and grifters, so the taxpayers will get fleeced, the GIs will die, and the industrialists will get richer while we're being told the opposite by people who seem to lie almost with every spoken word. And the cultists next door will lap it up.
