Thanks, Moz, so you just run a wire for power and video feed from the box to your goggles, then?

Is it really paranoia if they're actually spying? :p

Alright, now you guys have got that old INXS song going in my head. As payback for the ear worm, here's the video.

Gotcha, thanks Steven. Having learned that, then I can guess that Moz's selfie stick is mostly about getting additional height as you mention.

I must admit I was a little disappointed after clicking those links. :D jk - as usual, I learn so much from your awesome posts, @Jackson Thanks!

So pardon my ignorance, I'm only familiar with people using goggles and a radio, but what is the purpose of the ground station @Steven Campbell ? And same question for you @mozquito1 what does your selfie stick thing do that is different than the people I've seen with diversity straight on...

Is your computer actually crashing or is it just going to sleep and/or entering hibernation mode? What flavor? PC, Mac, Linux? My first step for a problem like that would be to make sure all my drivers were up to date.

Look like fun. With that small gap, I figured it was only a matter of time to see quad and car contact - glad to see it looks unscathed. Might be a good way to clean mud/etc from underneath your vehicle. :D

Also good to know, thanks Moz. I'm a software guy, so I spend plenty of time on GitHub - but rarely think about it for things outside of "code" reasons. Makes sense to find it there since it's open source. I'll have to remember to search there for other things as well.

Yeah, I've learned a lot already from both Bruce and the Painless360 guy. If I ever wanted to catch up on all their videos it might take me a year.

Totally agree, but sometimes I still prefer a book (esp kindle, etc) over a video because it's easier to search and skip ahead.

Awesome, thanks. I'm already a fan of Bruce and Mr. Steel - just haven't had a chance to go through all their videos yet. Hadn't heard of Joshua and Oscar before - so I'll check their channels out as well.

Thanks for the discussion on antenna stuff. @Gyro Doctor (or others) is there a book you would recommend that is a good basic introduction to antenna design. Not looking for PhD level stuff, but I'd like to upgrade my basic knowledge I learned from studying for the HAM test, which is just some...

You're mistaking me for someone else. I enjoy learning from people in all walks of life. Some of my favorite stories are from a friend on Dallas SWAT. I'm also the type of person to thank police officers when they give me a ticket because I know from the news and the stories of my LEO friends...

You may want to reread them yourself. I just got my 107 license and this specific information was in at least 2-3 questions on the test. The specific example I gave in my response above is an example of some of the questions that appear on the test. From the FAA website (summary here): Maximum...

Relax, dude. He never said you couldn't. We all heard you the other five times.

While that's a good rule of thumb, it's not completely true. You are allowed to fly 400' over structures within a 400' radius of the structure. If there was a 300' building, you could fly at 700' AGL as long as you were within 400' of it - assuming you are also meeting other FAA rules like being...

Awesome. I'll keep that one in mind when I need one.

I've seen drone builds where they include a loud buzzer that automatically goes off when the failsafe kicks in or when they manually flip a switch on their controller. I think I've seen where DJI owners have located their lost drones with an app (thought it was the DJI app, but not sure). Not...

LOL - also a possibility.
