Pretty good analysis.

Ok, just saw the clarification on the "security trucks" & the chase. So that covers the vehicles, etc.

It's a refinery as you can see the cracking tower. Standard aircraft cannot fly over them because of the obvious. If one crashes into it you get a big loud boom. I'm sure security somehow didn't get the memo that small drones bounce off steel. Now having said that, I am sure refineries, chemical...

Nice video.

You fly to the Altitude, you describe, and I can almost guarantee you will never see your drone again unless you have a tracking device on it. Winds aloft can be tricky and powerful. I ran into this problem flying at just under 400' when my Phantom 3 got caught in an updraft. It climbed to just...

When we think of a "drone" we think of our DJI's, etc. This was probably a drone strike, but I am guessing it was a military or Border Patrol drone of the smaller size, but about 3X the size of our DJI's. These would be made of light balsa, etc. The U.S. is undoubtedly flying inside Mexican...

Pretty amazing video till the end. Great job by Fly Dawg & you on the recovery. All hail Fly Dawg !

You stepped in it, so just own it & move on.

And in Illinois NOBODY follows the fireworks law. There are stands everywhere selling the big boom stuff.

You are correct. Probable cause for arrest can be many different things. I used to just go ask the person if they were shooting. You'd be shocked at the number of people who will admit to doing something stupid.

I wouldn't. To much chance the glue will end up on the slot edges, or in the slot itself. If it does the problem just went from manageable to truly $%^&ed .............. IMO.

I have to agree. I know all Eagles are protected by federal law. You can't even possess a feather, unless you are a Native American and then special circumstances apply. I'm sure the federal statute includes their habitats. We have so many here, I have to look to there isn't one (usually 2 or...

Know why lightening never strikes the same place twice? 9 times out of 10, whatever it struck the first time is no longer there to be struck again. If it is (ie.a tree) it's definitely messed up !

I don't like walking between the front door to my running (auto start) truck where the a/c is already on, when it's 95, let alone 100 degrees. The distance is all of 25'. Forget flying in that kind of heat. If I have to wear a sweatband under my ball cap to keep the sweat out of my eyes, so I...
