    Writing rules against “things” is job security to a bureaucrat. Most of us only pay attention when the rule restricts our own interests, but every rule restricts someone’s ones freedom to do something. We should always seek to limit Government to the least society can stand.

    Drone sightings reported over Newark, NJ Airport this evening.........

    Like all things in the news right now, facts really don’t mater a lot. Creating the desired Public reaction justifies the story. But, if you examin society in general we’re not a people that follows rules very well, everybody pretty much does what ever is right in their own eyes. Not many...

I have now purchased a circular antena to use with the RE goggles. The antenna is rated for 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. I’ve Only had one opportunity to...

    DJI Goggles limit the distance

    If I use my DJI Goggles RE without the 5.8 GHz external pagoda antenna my range before it disconnects is maybe 300 yards. If I use the pagoda antenna, my range is around 700 yards. Since the 5.8 GHz external pagoda antenna is designed for short range 5.8 GHz, it seems to me that if the external...

    Resolution on Phantom 4 Pro +

    I purchased a new Phantom 4 Pro from Amazon last November. I had owned a Phantom 4 and was very pleased with the photos and videos. The new phantom 4 Pro produced disappointing photography out of the box. I tried using it to produce Maps with Map Pilot and Maps Made Easy. The maps we’re a...

    INSURANCE

    Before my new Phantom 4 Pro, I owned a Phantom 4 for about 16 months (about 350 trouble free flights), I try to be very careful and thorough, but there is sure plenty to go wrong. It is good to know there is insurance for what could go wrong.

    Phantom 4 Durability and Preventative Maintenance

    It is comforting to see the longevity of service from the Phantoms. I think the Key to the long service life is to Not fly into Stuff. I guess I can't expect to set any speed records with 96.6 mph out there. Congratulations. In the hot Texas sun the only record I have chance with is "Hottest...
