Delaware's Own shuts us down a lot when he's home. I live just outside local airport zone, but half the state turns red for Joe.

Until Battery #2 is delivered. I think they can be cloned.

Mavic 3, iPhone 14 Pro; I have 2 controllers, RC and RC-N1. For general use I have been using the RC controller, as there is little set up and I don't have to deal with a connected device. However, I want to use programed apps like Litchi, which requires that I connect to my iPhone or iPad. Is...

I have a small bottle of ash on a shelf that my Grandad collected (in Tacoma). A small souvenir. We didn't hear a thing in Delaware! But we did get some red sunsets for a while.

Wait... My Mavic 3 has sparkplug wires? How do I disconnect them? :)

I did not take my Mavic 3 (or any drone) with me, as it was a business trip with little time for flying. Singapore is s a city-state, heavily built up, and not many places to fly. My comments were about the charging adapters in particular. If the adapter indicates 110 to 240 volts, you can use...

I live in northern Delaware. Every few weeks the usual restrictions (5-mile for local airport) are superseded by the FRZ when #46 is home for the weekend. Surpised me the first time I couldn't fly from my backyard, but now its routine to just check B4UFLY.

Kudos to the officer for not losing his cool. And the second officer for staying out of it (aside from unsnapping his Taser).

Protecting from drops etc is not quite 'babying' the equipment (IMO). Use it, clean it, avoid rough handling, but when the inevitable dings and bumps happen, I won't wail into the wind or bang my head on the nearest tree. :) And for me, most of my work is done away from concrete surfaces. I...

Looks hideous? Dorky or uncool? My drones, cameras, and other tools are just that—working tools. I am not interested if they look worn or used, nor in the resale value to someone else. I take care of my equipment, but I don't baby it or worry about a scratch or bump. If OP Don (and others) want...
