Busted! That is some nice drone camera work!

That jet would satisfy all of my needs....WP in the shallows, LMB in the shallows and smallies.

I can go with Capts. Dennis and Brady for deep bay stuff or to go across the highway to the islands.

Re: Drones

Thanks for setting up the Drones thread.....can't fly if I can't feel my fingers.  So, I don't have much input yet.  Learning to hover and make subtle adjustments flying in the house is probably pretty good practice, but not very interesting.  I did modify the TX antenna from a 1/4 wavelength to a 1/2 wavelength.  It is supposed to about double the range.  Easy solder job.  But I have no idea if it really made a difference because I can't get far enough away from the drone while its in the house! big_smile

I once caught a blue gill while trolling with one of my sons remote control boat.

Not quite trolling, but a cool video of a drone crash that captured underwater life.

Re: Drones

Nice George....I work with many authors of Proposed Rules (USPS) every day. It can be a pain of a process but certainly a fair one. I don't like it when they send out rules without a comment period.

Anyway, should folks that like drones comment on the Proposed Rule?

Re: Drones

The proposal is now accepting comments for the next 60 days.

The Forbes article discussed a part of the proposal was leaked.  That part was mine.

This is no good.....whether well intentioned flying or trying to test the limits.

Re: Drones

check the rules before operation - around airports or aircraft, there's no tolerance
