Back home in LA it's completely illegal. Here in central KY, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as it isn't in a crowded neighborhood. I've had 3 officers threaten to shoot my drone down and they would have been applauded for doing it.

What's the bitrate of the 60fps video? If it's crazy high, you can adjust settings to get it down while preserving 60 frames.

I tested this last year with Air2 vs Air3 - as close to apples to apples as possible. O4 gave a slight increase in both distance and video quality. Here's the original post:

Wonder if they affect prop efficiency so much it thinks it's being weighed down.

For the antenna, here's the post I made about it when I had an MA2:

I have an A3, used to have an A2 which I loved but I crashed it. Things I bought that I used: Strobe lights - Firehouse are great but Vifly are cheap and almost as good. Mount to use an iPad instead of my phone - and extension cable. Small backpack to carry everything in. Range extending Yagi...

I wish this were true.

Checkout defcad.com I know it's a bit of a niche but those guys are on the bleeding (literally) edge of what's possible with additive printing.

If you can't exercise your rights, then you don't have them at all. I like several of this guy's videos, but, at least in one video, he didn't appear to be flying in VLOS. I've had the police called many times because some business or individual just didn't want me flying. I tell them, the...

Not for nothin' but I watched the charging through my Killawatt, with the 100W charger from Anker. It never got above ~60 watts. I've seen the charger do at least 80 watts in another device. It doesn't seem like the batteries want to charge any faster.

I wouldn't disagree. On an average 10-20 minute flight, I'd guess most people skirt the rules for 2-5 minutes.

All of us usually keep the drone visible. All of us occasionally - and intentionally - fly the drone out of sight, if only for a brief time. I can point to several posts where people who are sticklers for the rules admit to breaking them. I push the limits of the rules all the time but even I...

Is there an app for the Oculus Quest that will allow me to view panos? Not just uploading it to a website but allowing me to look around to see the full image.

See you in the skies around Lexington.

I get warned of the one at UK Kroger field when I launch on game day.
