    I'm 73. U-control, free flight, early RC (anybody remember escapements?), Heathkit RC(xmitter, rec and servos), built two kit airplanes (full size), flew Bonanza A-36 for business, instrument rated, etc. etc. "He who dies with the most toys wins."

    How did OREO drop Cookies from the DJI? Or is there a payload mod somewhere?

    I have probably the original version of the Gimbal Guard drop release. Looks like they've added some more neat features. Mine works great. I've dropped beers to friends and used it for a precision drop of a leaf guard into the rain bucket on my weather station (didn't want to take the pole...

    Ultralight vs Drone ( Why do Drones have much tighter regulations)

    Power line inspection, growth clearing, bug spraying, etc. all do so under special exemptions to the FAR's and notams are issued. Another point. How many people can ACCURATELY measure the height of an aircraft by looking at it. I have seen many posts about this where it is obvious that the...

    Free Shipping + $25 gift card! - Flyhum exclusive offer

    It was easy. But, I'd like to have had some options on for instance, shipping. Shipping is highly dependent on where the buyer is in relation to the seller. The shipment of a Phantom 2 in a hard case, for instance, is impossible to estimate. I think I got the point across, though...
