    Firmware update

    Well, decades ago, a very wise man told me that to live a happy and positive life, I should avoid negative people so I think I will bow out of the discussion.

    Kenneth did say that they wouldn't be releasing it until next week at the earliest.

    Firmware Update

    TAMU1996, I am assuming that from your emoji you believed I was being sarcastic. I was not. Your post indicated that your were not happy with the drone performance nor the company performance. Sounded like a good reason to spend your money with someone else. I would love the improvements you...

    Firmware Update

    A possible solution to your jilted feeling would be to sell your drone and purchase something from another company. It does not appear the Autel Robotics is going to change how they do business. Just a thought. Also, I am curious. Just what sorts of improvements were you hoping to see in...

    So what does this mean if Trump goes ahead with this?

    I would not worry too much about this. Privatizing the air traffic controllers is not the privatizing the FAA. I am more concerned about what the local and state bureaucrats are going to do to us. Hell, I'm surprised that my local home owners association has not made a fuss about my flights...

    Looks Like The United States Will Be A total NFZ

    I couldn't agree more. Which is why I believe that we should take this issue seriously. I truly believe that today's politicians from local to federal just live for the chance to regulate and control what people do. We will never escape all regulation, but less is better and the FAA guidelines...

    Looks Like The United States Will Be A total NFZ

    I really hope my concerns are unfounded, but I see this in a similar light to the problems gun owners face. Each state, county and local government has their own laws and regulations for the ownership and transporting of firearms. This is a real problem if you are traveling. Just ask someone who...

    Looks Like The United States Will Be A total NFZ

    I would like to urge everyone to contact the senators involved in this and express how you feel. I have already sent emails to 3 of them. Sen Blumenthals site would not accept my email since I was not from his home state. I will try and call instead. For info on contacting these people you can...
