Who gets to decide what a questionable moral is? The offenses in the article seem to be a whole lot less severe than being a member of the KKK. Where is the line? If I make a donation to the Republican party, does that mean I have question

The FAA establishes complete "no-fly" zones where you may never fly a UAS period. These are zones like active landing/takeoff routes and areas with low flying aircraft like the fire fighting aircraft in the article. I have ne

I hope DJI responds with a firmware update preventing flight in temporary no-fly zones. Right now they respect static no fly zones, but when temporary ones get put up you can still fly inside them. It's a real shame that large ready-to

If I have a drone with 8:1 TWR and I have to bump my throttle by 20% to compensate for wind, a drone that has a TWR of 2:1 is gonna lose altitude and fail to maintain position. I realize now that the way I described it in my parent post doe

The full size Mavik drones benefit from having much more mass holding them against the wind. The amount of drone surface that interacts with the air scales roughly squared, and the mass scales roughly cubic. A simpler way of stating it is t

Let's say you're flying a race drone in windy conditions. you're aiming for a gate that you're going to fly straight through when a large gust of wind hits. You now have to compensate for that wind to correct your trajec

I want to know how big the motors are going to be compared to the Mavic Pro. I've flown 5" race quads that were <250g and working against the wind can be a constant battle if you have gusts >10mph. Traditionally DJI drones h

Soon the FAA is going to require a knowledge test for recreational flyers to fly UAS heavier than 250g. The part 107 commercial UAS exam that already exists requires a lot of studying and costs $150 to take, and this falls on the easy end o

I'm fascinated by the idea that someone could have killed and successfully covered up a murder this high profile. How do you handle the guards? How do you keep the other inmates quiet? Can you get away with bribing a single guard or is

I will personally love to see someone justify spending $250 on wireless earphones whose batteries cannot be replaced. I'm a year and a half into my normal airpods and they already need new batteries.

This article reeks of a SEO tarpit. TLDR: Apple is obeying Chinese law, which right now means no VPN apps in their Chinese app store. Then 3500 words of SEO fluff.
