I'll give you $150 for your fleet. That way you won't feel bad about selling unusable stuff and I won't feel bad about loosing $150.

Did it start doing this after a firmware update?

Ba ha ha ha....you used "government" and "rational" in the same sentence!! Now THAT'S funny!! 😂🤣

So, what ya got for sale?

I'm using UASidekick. Does what I need to do. Haven't compared the others. I really wish the FAA would delete the older small airports that are no longer physically in existence and other minor cleanups.

Make sure it's turned on in the settings. And, yes those aircraft may be operating (legally) without ADS-B. I have numerous agricultural aircraft operating around me and only a couple of them have the capability, for when they are operating near airports. The medivac helicopter based at my...

At the frequencies involved, even a fraction of an inch in error has significant impact on resonate frequency and SWR (not to mention directivity). If you don't already know this, please leave it alone. It'll save you money. And everyone, please stop with the speculations on power levels. We...

Hmmm. Interesting. I guess when the pilot inputs a heading change, the firmware sees that input and calculates a new course? Or, more likely, it sees the pilot input as a slew in GPS course and when the input stops, it attempts to hold the new course? That would indicate that there is no...

DJI batterykiller works on Air 2S batteries.

I understand all that, but I believe the accelerometers play a bigger part in the stability game than GPS and track is not leveraged unless proceeding to a specific waypoint. Getting back to the OP question, I would think it uses heading mode until programmed to go to a specific point. But I'm...

You do know that the cycle count can be reset, don't you? Not saying that there are unscrupulous people out there, just saying.

Why would the drone try to fly a straight line without a specific selected course and how does that differentiate from when it IS trying to maintain a course? Isn't the GPS data only for stability until a waypoint/flight plan programmed?

Where are these warehouses? I want to check one out.

Judging from my recent conversation with a person from the local FSDO, they don't care nor have the time. The only time it would come up is as previously stated, someone pokes the bear.

Interesting thread. So none of this has to do with airspace safety, as touted by the FAA???? Interesting indeed.
