Mine does not get very hot. I do make sure it has shade though.

I use my Mavic as a stationary camera all the time. No need to remove the propellers or any of that nonsense as long as you don't hit the take off button. The biggest drawback is that it automatically shuts off every 26 minutes due to the software so if you are shooting longer you have to keep...

I use the online thesaurus when I need one, but this was actually extemporaneous.

No way! That is totally real. You can see the drone hits the plane and it goes down every time. Why won't the FAA do something to stop this carnage?!

And now I just saw this . . Mikeflight, please come back and help me fight this danger! We can take shifts and report everyone to the FAA who posts a drone video we think is illegal. I'm with you now, Mikeflight! Can I get a vest now?

Really! Wow, it had me totally fooled with those awesome production values. Are you sure? Maybe we should call the FAA just to be safe?

I have been arguing that all the hype about the FAA and scare talk about drones being dangerous to manned aircraft was hooey. Boy was I wrong. I watched this video and now I am ready to join the fight to make sure drones don't kill more innocent people. Mikeflight, you were right. Everyone needs...

In my world I totally agree with everyone who is trying to make everything totally safe, especially inherently dangerous activities like piloting small aircraft. Not only will I never fly my drone again above my roof line, I will also sit out back with my 12 gauge and shoot down every bird I see...

And now it can end with an even greater video that will get the FAA moving to shut me down for good!. Please wake up Mikeflight and tell him he needs to get on those FAA reports ASAP! This is getting super serious . . .

Well, OK, I do know a lot. I will own that. But the way you old school types talk about the FAA is really misleading and you know it. HERE IS THE TRUTH: There are currently no legally enforceable rules or laws that apply to hobbyist drone users that don't apply to any other public activity in...

A case of COMMERCIAL operation settled for $1100 with no admission of wrongdoing. Not a hobbyist, and FAA backed down when he did not just panic and pay. It is not that I endorse using drones to harass people. But you have clearly sympathized with Mikeflight, and implied that your AMA private...

Ok, so not laws. Got it.

So AMA "rules" have the force of law? They mandatorily apply to hobbyists who are not AMA members? Can you give me the statutory or regulatory citation for that? I would like to learn more about these laws I am supposedly breaking.

Was that guy for real?! Bizarre . . .

He started it, Dad!
