    US businesses performed very well in the two decades following WWII in improving our own quality of life while simultaneously aiding the rebuilding of our former enemies. There were no even remotely similar executive salaries and tax rates on the wealthy were enormously more severe. I've just...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Did your neighbor use RID to locate you? Can you point to instances where someone has used RID to do anything negative to a drone or a drone operator? It certain could happen but there just don't seem to be very many cases of it actually happening.

    DJI Fly 1.19.0 issue with AR functions

    I've just updated to 1.19.0 on the RC 2 controller and found all three AR features working just fine on the Mavic 4 Pro. No issues or problems observed after the update. I think this one was primarily to accommodate the new Neo 2.

    There's an issue on the high end of the employee salary scale, too. Many American company pay executives annual salaries in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars (plus benefits). That adds directly to the cost of the products they sell. Companies in Vietnam, Korea, China, Malaysia and...

    Here's a snapshot of the Falkirk Wheel to provide a little daytime context for that excellent video. June 6, 2025.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    No problems reported after a year of mandatory RID. 0<50%. The wolf is not yet approaching the door and the sky hasn't begun to fall.

    Look at the archive. Count the number of reports of problems resulting being tracked by RID. Facts.

    Air 3 The Falkirk Wheel : In technicolor

    Wow. Very nice flying, filming, and editing. And the wheel is an true engineering marvel and a delight to watch raising and lowering canal boats. I flew most of those routes last summer in the daylight. It must have been quite a bit more challenging in the dark. All my photos and videos are...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Facts are the best approach. There was a lot of fear about RID-facilitated violence and robbery among some folks two+ years ago. There have been no problems. Facts.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    RID detection apps seem to work on Android phones. I've used one to locate and track drones in the wild. What's the basis for saying most consumer level phones aren't capable? Well, most consumers don't intend to track down drone operators and rob or assault them. Criminal types who see drone...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    I welcome being told I'm wrong when it's done with fact and reality. Conjecture and imagination don't carry the same weight. What is it that you are doing about the RID-related theft and violence that you see coming? What is your plan of action? How do other support your efforts? You can...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Almost everyone has a cell phone and can download a RID detection app for free. Gullible, unknowledgeable, fooled, fall for the same nonsense, never learning the lesson ... Yes, some people continue to believe that they're in great danger because of RID, despite more than a year of history...

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    How long has RID been in use in the US? How many cases of attacks, thefts, or horrifying confrontations with meddlesome women have been reported? Is this imagined or foreseen danger really worth fretting about?

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Hyperbolic and sensational. And yet, there's not been a single case of theft or violence reported in all the time RID has been in use. These speculative and imagined threats around RID have created an inappropriate general fear of RID among a number of drone owners. There are far more actual...

    Mini 5 Pro down over water...

    I've seen no sign of anyone attempting to prevent another forum member from posting. Only the admins and moderators should be able to do that. Was someone else attempting to block you from posting? We're all arbiters of what's sensible and what's not. When you make guesses or imagine a...
