    Does the FAA send reminders?

    It's asking for all my credit card info before telling me how much it is. I believe it used to be $5.00. Is that still true?

    Does the FAA send reminders?

    Pretty similar. Same URL, etc. Slightly different layout and mine is "wordier." Attached. Seems all the info is correct. It's just that these days, it gets harder and harder to determine whether some unsolicited email is legit or not.

    Does the FAA send reminders?

    I received a reminder that it's time to renew my UAS registration. Looks like the facts are correct. Is this legit?

    Air 3s Sunset photos - Wisconsin

    Nice pix. Mind if I ask what part of WI? I'm a bit west of Madison, in the driftless region.

    Pawn shop bird.

    Hey, it's a good idea. Breeding them could be way cheaper than buying new ones all the time. And if you don't use 'em, make an omelette or something. Might be a little crunchy, though.

    I was going to ask if they were mating in that first picture, but that would be inappropriate... so I won't ask. :-)

    Need a better video editor

    I've been using Vegas Pro since about 2007 and love it. Pretty intuitive, has lots of features, great audio editor, too.

    DJI's on hand landing.

    I used to hand catch my Phantoms routinely if I was on dusty or sandy ground, but their landing gear were like two big handles, so it was much easier than the Mavic.

    Class 1 Laser in our Mini 4 Pro?

    It will automatically turn on by default. Written in the Department of Redundancy Department. :)

    Mars?

    I just saw some pictures from Mars. One included a drone. I was thinking about it and about the thinner atmosphere. In a thinner atmosphere, would our drones have trouble flying? Does the Mars drone need higher RPM? It looked like the blades were wider/more surface area. Must be all...

    DJI's on hand landing.

    Well, just from my (possibly over cautious) point of view, if anything ever goes awry and it has to return to home, if you boat moved, home might be a spot in lake. If you take off from, say, a dock, you can always retrieve it without SCUBA gear.

    PR and Courtesy

    That's not terribly far from here (Spring Green). I was just thinking about going out for a flight, but it started raining. Oh well.

    PR and Courtesy

    That's the one. I did a few videos driving on the bridges and have a nice aerial shot of the main one from a few years ago. So are you in the area?

    Storing Videos on Phone?

    I understand about the SD card. I was just saying that the videos aren't lost, they're just not showing up on the phone as they used to. I've got it set at, I think, 16GB. I was wondering, aloud, if the hard drive on the phone might be too full to store them. I have lots of .MP3s on the drive...

    Storing Videos on Phone?

    Still no luck. AS long as it's saving them on the card, that's good, but it's still nice to be able to preview on the phone. Strange...
