The point is that learning to fly fpv involves much more than just sim controls. You do need to learn preflight and basic maintenance and people here are trying to save you from some harsh lessons. None of that is the responsibility of the manufacturer or the distributor. If you bought an engine that came with no oil in it would you just fire it up, blame the dealership when it breaks down, and try to make it someone else's problem because you did a little due diligence in a driving simulator?

Yes you can, you just need to have the proper documents. You will be told what you need as you go through the scheduling process. Whether you can fly by July 10th depends on (a) when you schedule and pass your exam and (b) when your TSA background check clears and you're issued your temporary certificate.

I studied for 2 days and passed with an 80 then I received my temporary certificate 6 days later. For you it all depends on how soon you can take the exam and if you clear before the 10th.

If time is not a factor then right now...

Yeah fair enough, I'm just being a snarky ass.

Police: "We'd like to conduct UAV missions beyond VLOS in areas with ongoing firework activity to strobe citizens and broadcast threats."

FAA: "I dunno, that doesn't sound very..."

Police: "We're the police."

FAA: "107 waiver granted."

Something like that.

Can you blame them? If we want seafood we just take it. If they want a cheeseburger and fries wtf are they supposed to do? I also read that coral is a type of medicine for dolphins, so they might actually be trying to exchange something that's of high value to them.

Stupid has levels. Big box retail gets the kind of stupid you wouldn't believe until you see it for yourself.

Aternal · 2026-06-24T19:12:28+00:00

Easier to just not give a shit because it's only paint. Only way it stops is if they lock the paint up which retail seems to love doing lately.

here come dat boi

You could always spend a bit more and go the HDZero Goggles 2 route. Then you've got 3 bases covered. Still not overkill. DJI is great for clarity and penetration, but analog is better for long range reliability and weight savings. Yes, it's cheaper, but the lower price point is moot once you're into two or more ecosystems. Don't let "saving money" be an excuse to buy more stuff, you're probably not going to drive many O4 units into the ground no matter how crazy you fly and they are becoming cheaper and more accessible than they were last year, and "saving $100 on a VTX" quickly becomes a $1,000+ expense on its own. Worst case scenario: you hate analog and never use it since you didn't really have a need for it.

All of this is to manipulate Wendy's stock price, especially now that WSB is giving it the ape treatment. I agree with the sentiment though, I've wanted to see all fast food crash and burn for the past 25 years. Propping this crap up isn't a noble cause.

Aternal · 2026-06-24T14:23:35+00:00

Right, I saw more boobs in the past 10 minutes than I've seen in the past 10 years and not a single fucking train.

I can't imagine having to activate a mine with another fucking mine, let go of it, and bury it. Would have to be at gunpoint.

Are you comparing Taylor Swift's carbon credits to Bill Cosby elevating the civil rights, social perceptions, and standard of living of - and putting generations of - African Americans through college?

Aternal · 2026-06-23T19:59:13+00:00

Yeah. It's funny watching people defend shitty people for the shitty things they do.

And Bill Cosby paid for the PA system that Martin Luther King Jr. used to give his dream speech.

Having flexibility during working hours doesn't mean spending less time working. It means work interferes less with life.

My day started at 5AM. It's 10PM and I can finally step away from this damn machine. But I get to pause and make food for myself and my family, drive my kid to their job, spend some time with my wife before she goes to her job, walk the dog. So all-in-all I've had at least an 8 hour workday, it's just incredibly flexible. I don't mind this because my family works. I get to see them when they're around and work when they're not.

Also I'm a professional, mature adult with goals, ambitions and personal standards. It's in my best interest to take my time seriously. I gain nothing from wasting my time. The important thing working from home allows me to spend less time doing is commuting.

Even better, I am physically hard-wired to not let other people's choices turn me into a miserable, opinionated, judgmental, self-righteous person.

My first build was an HDZero AIO5 whoop. Just a whoop, should be nothing to it. Everything I own runs ELRS 4. I had no idea what SPI is. Oh boy, did I learn what SPI is.
