Before I start a very slow build to try and fly a sub 250g FPV platform, I thought I would weigh what I already own and get a ballpark figure for the weight of flight controller and receiver. Every gram I can shave off will help.
I intend using Arduplane on an F4 board of some sort.
This idea comes from our weekly Tuesday chat, Bruce thinks that you can do whatever you like in Canada with a sub 250g platform, no rules apply!

This presentation covers the aspects of normative values in the drone industry, drone mitigation and security. Kevin Finisterre speaks about the proliferation of civilian drones in war zones and how DJI's products and geofencing fit into this situation.
"We all have that one friend that double dips the chips into the salsa! In the drone world, the same thing happens in war zones... one man's humanitarian aid is another man's force multiplier. Drone vendors are caught in the middle selling to both sides."

Did hackers take over computer systems at Gatwick?
Details are sparse but of the stories reaching me, this one seems to have provenance.
It is alleged that the Police drones used at Gatwick were not looking for drones but for accomplices to a systems hack at the airport that prevented aircraft taking off and landing.
The police were unsure if the hackers were inside or outside of the airport hence the major vehicle and police drone search that happened on the first day. That search prompted an increase in drone sightings and the police went with that story for the closure of Gatwick.

Yes, it is a clickbait picture! But we will talk about new Autel and DJI drones. Ian has studied it all hard. No doubt his chair will make an appearance and Bruce and I will mutter and complain about things. Everyone else as ever will be well behaved and balanced!
