Yea. I'd like to see the 6k with Thermal (vs 8k/thermal).

Dunno. I fly in St Mary's. If you find a place you'd like to go in Calvert, say so...

Anyone want to go flying in the St Mary's, Calvert or Charles Country areas?

Anyone tried (or even found) tri-blades and/or carbon fiber props yet?

I know that. I also know I intend to get it for eventual long-range use of the SkyHunter, anyway. If it can be used on more than that...

I'd like to see a port to plug in ADSB Sense and Avoid... Can't do that with firmware, but a thought for Evo2...

Just noted your signature. Thank you for your service! (Retired USN 81-01, Expert pistol & rifle, FAA107, Have Evo, MPP, MM, TyH480P)

DJI not getting my money. I'll stay with Evo, 2 if it comes out. Autel doesn't nanny.

Has anyone yet attached this to an Evo? I don't expect to be able to make it talk the the flight control unit, or even the ground controller, but maybe set up for ATC awareness...? Would only need power and a mount point for that, and the power drain shouldn't have a huge affect on the flight...

I assume you mean no longer avail from Autel. There's a lot of used ones available (ebay, etc)

Remote ID doesn't bother me much, BUT! The takeoff/pilot location must NOT be available to anyone except FAA (or equivalent) or law enforcement personnel. Some twits see a drone and think that THEY are the targets of SPYING. Grab the app, find the pilot, go confront... The pilot may be...

"only"? What of the XStar?

Been trying for a couple months. No dice. Not trying anymore. It's a toy, a vacation camera at best.

I refuse to play DJI's paper trail game. They want more paper per location. I've flown on 47 fields so far, and expect at least 30 more this year. No. They can totally unlock for the life of my 107 - and renew as the 107 is renewed - or get ignored as a toy. The Autel ? Just acknowledge when it...

My reason for the Evo vs DJI is simple. I, like many others here, am 107, and DJI thinks it has the right to nanny us. Sorry, they don't. I'm an Air Traffic Control Systems Field Engineer. My work email ends in "@faa.gov"... Most of my work flights are ON airfields, inspecting radar/comm...
