    Positive news story about drones for a change

    There have been a lot of negative stories in the news about drones lately. Here is a positive one from my home state of Minnesota. https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/photographer-uses-drone-thermal-camera-to-find-missing-boy/89-f6744354-5017-424b-b013-1f079957eee0

    Radio communication

    I just noticed that you are from Germany. That may explain the difference in our experiences. The US WiFi uses different channels and we're allowed to use a lot more transmit power. If you fly a Mavic Air or a Spark in the US you will have significantly greater range than if you fly it in the...

    Radio communication

    The Spark or the Mavic Air used with a phone instead of the controller both get 2-3 times the range of the Tello. This is from personal experience using the same phone for each of them.

    Radio communication

    Which BEBONCOOL controller do you have? I saw one on Amazon and I like how small it is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171JGYF2/?coliid=I6BLHW2ER3N6T&colid=18EYEGYMTM1YV&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Is this the one you have? I've also heard an advantage to the T1s is the ability to use an OTG...

    New Tello pilot from Minnesota, USA

    I just picked up a Tello to play around with when traveling. I already own a Mavic Air and a Mavic 2 Pro with the Smart controller. I've been doing RC stuff since the 80s. Even a veteran pilot can appreciate how much fun it can be to pilot a little drone like the Tello.
