    China Swats Down American Drone Manufacturers.

    No, but no one wants to admit or acknowledge that cell phones could be doing the same thing on a MUCH, MUCH larger scale.

    Periodic maintenance question

    I change the oil, lube the chassis and rotate the tires..... Oh, wait, that's my truck. Check props, clean lens(es) watch batteries for swelling or leakage. If you experience a crash, collision or hard landing, then besides the above, check for cracks.

    China Swats Down American Drone Manufacturers.

    To play Devil's advocate, what if DJI's "off" switch works in name only? What if you think it's disabled but it isn't? Singularly, I don't care if DJI is receiving feeds of locations I fly or not. I do not fly anywhere restricted or anywhere that can't be seen on Google Earth. But if it is...

    U.S. Marines Go To War Against Combat Drones.

    This is only half of the equation though. Bad guys have drones too, lots of them and they too know how to use them. Uncle Sam needs to work on defensive technology as well, both in the form of hunter/seeker drones and jamming/emp devices.

    The bill would give the right to states and local governments to establish limitation on flights by commercial and UAV's. It would enable them to limit flights over specific areas, such as schools, parks, bridges, moving locations (?) or other public area and private land (without permission of...

    [Federal bill] S. 1249: Drone Integration and Zoning Act (Proposed)

    To say this is a bad idea is a vast understatement. Write your Senators NOW, and if you happen to live in Lee's state (Utah) not only write, but drop in his office and tell him or his staff how screwed up his idea is and why. Maybe he's one of those rare politicians who will listen. EDIT: My...

    Google Alphabet sets the latest Tech Trend.

    I am among the haters of all things Google. The company's early practice of gathering and selling user data or using it for their own purposes made me this way. Perhaps they have changed, but I remain suspect and until proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, I will have nothing to with them or...

    Air 3 The Watchtower

    Maybe Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" would have been better background music? 😁 Anyway, nice job! Just in case you don't know who Jimi was:

    I want to use a Mr. Fusion so I only have to refuel every six months or so.

    Is it Legal to Shoot Down a Drone?

    I thought just owning a gun in England was illegal, let alone actually shooting one. At least for the common folk.

    RC Pro - anyone make an educated guess about compatibility with upcoming Mavic 4 Pro?

    With a 125% tariff, it's all a moot point for me.
