RF Gun- NASCAR stuck a deal with DroneShield to use it’s technology at an upcoming race. The “Gun” works by overpowering the onboard electronics of drones that are flying, essentially jamming their radio frequencies and causing them to crash, land, or return to home based on the model. DroneShield’s products can only be used by military or authorized personnel since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) prohibits individuals, even local law enforcement, from using jammers on radio signals. This tech has been around for a while, while useful it requires

Russian Delivery Drone Crash - Russia testing it’s first delivery drone, potentially costing upwards of $20,000 crashed into a building during it’s public maiden flight. I wonder if it’s protected from RF guns?

Lockheed Martin Tanker Drone First Look - Lookheed Martin has shown a sneek-peek of their new aerial platform in a “Tanker” configuration. A drone that would allow aircraft and other drones to refuel mid-flight while remaining autonomous. These types of aerial systems greatly expand the range and therefore the effectiveness of military forces.

THE SKY IS FALLING!?!?!?! Comercial Coalition sets out to repeal Section 336, setting out to create new laws for all drone operators. 770,000 People are registered drone pilots, twice as many as full scale pilots. Zero deaths caused domestically by drones. With minimal interference with full scale traffic, short term history shows that the sky IS NOT FALLING. Education is key in keeping our skies safe, not new laws. Education to not just the pilots, but to the public to show them the reality of the situation and not the potential fear being spread by some.

LightTrax XP tour has be+ to organize the experience and to make sure it’s the best it can be. I was stoked to go on this tour, traveling around for a few months spreading the love of FPV across the united states and getting to meet with fans. My schedule this year just opened up, so if you wanna hang out, have a couch for me to crash on and have something epic to fly- please hit me up. I’d love to try and make it out to the far ends of the east and west coast, and everything in-between.

BetaFlight 3D Fix? Looks like the 3D fix for BetaFlight is going into version 3.2.2 of the software, keep an eye out for that when it drops. Also on the horizon is a featuring being tested to hopefully help smooth out flying 3D even more, especially when throwing the throttle hard from positive to negative:
