    FBI & Air Force OSI knocked on my door

    Wait...so now "cop shows on TV" are to be taken as facts? And we learn lessons from them? You do realize they're "cop shows on TV," not documentaries, right?

    What is the best tablet to use with DJI Air 2s?

    I can't say enough about the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3. Fast, with an incredibly bright screen. 4GB of RAM, fast Octo-core processor. GPS and compass. Runs DJI fly with no problems.

    Using a drone to retrieve a drone?

    There are a number of "Drone Rescue" videos on YouTube showing various methods for rescuing drones from roofs, monuments, etc. Techniques vary from clothes hangars (surprisingly successful) to the previously mentioned magnets. Give 'em a look.

    Issue installing DJI fly on Tablet.

    It doesn't. The Galaxy A7 Lite is powered by the ARM Cortex-A53, a 64-bit octo-core processor (4 cores running at 2.3 GHz and 4 at 1.8 GHz)

    Does the standard A2S Controller have a standard USB-C connector? (Tablet to Controller, NOT the charging port)

    Here's a the manual, and here's where the Micro SD card goes:

    Micro-C does not exist. You are referencing a Micro-USB port, which was introduced in 2007, and existed long before USB C ports were developed.

    Have you ever encountered a Law Enforcement Official (LEO) while flying? What happened?

    That's probably a Normal encounter.... I crack myself up.

    Part 107. Cannot figure this out!

    Hahaha...or not. When I took my 107 exam, the test admin logged into the computer, pointed to the chair, and said "Have at it." No paper, no pencil, no supplement book. I thought, "Huh. I guess the supplements are presented with the questions. Guess I don't need scratch paper." Then I got to...

    8" android tablet that works 100% with Dji Fly app.

    I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 (SM-T570). 4GB RAM, Octa-core processor. Amazingly bright 8" screen, and I got an open box for well less than half the cost of the Tripletek. It's a great alternative, IMO.

    Volunteering as eyes in the skies, need advice

    Can I ask what model drone you use for this work? Thanks.

    Volunteering as eyes in the skies, need advice

    Re: power in the field, I would think most of the situations in which you'd be deploying the drone would have a Command Center that's powered, but if not, an inverter like the Honda EU2200i (or one of the better clones) is affordable (compared to the overall "drone" effort), portable, super...

    FAA to UAS Violation Enforcement for December 2021 (hopefully one of many)

    We all started in the same place. That's the beauty of flying; you don't get to CLEP out of ratings. Unless you've done practically no flying since Jan 2021, you certainly have more drone/Part 107 time than I have, and I can probably learn a good deal from you.

    Hi. ASMEL, Instrument Airplane, Airline Transport Pilot Flying since: 1979 You're bailing a canoe with a giant hole in the bottom using a measuring spoon. Leave the canoe and swim (contritely) to shore.

    Wait...are you trying to say there's bad information posted on some websites on the internet?! Holy crap! We need to let someone know about this.
