Buckle up, pilots: The FAA just ditched outdated rules, opening skies to advanced light-sport aircraft – including potential eVTOL game-changers. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced a new FAA rule at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisc... dronexl.co/2025/07/23/faa…

We have had more Skydio black screens this week than I’ve ever seen before. 3 Skydio’s All black screens from the heat. When the screen goes black, the remote has no input, which is the opposite of every other drone manufacturer. Just an observation and opportunity of…

Some Police FOIA teams (not all) have such contempt for the FOIA. I made a fair complaint to Suffolk Constabulary that an FOIA had been rejected with a cut and paste response, my internal review was a 100% cut and paste too! I was like WTAF when I saw it.

For those that didn't seeing it former Brit and software coder at Ocean software (ah the memories of the good ole days) has written free software examining the sky that is even capturing the USAF making mistakes. You can see him chat below

"While a direct link isn’t confirmed" That moment you don't realize that AASKY has been DJI for decades, and the app *talks* to AASKY servers. And based on a tip from @UAVHive today, I tried to login to SkyRover APP with my DJI credentials, and it fucking worked!

Great to see @MickWest is a guest live now on @sUASnews talking about the false positive sightings by the USAF of drones that never were: youtube.com/watch?v=WTvxLn…

Gary Mortimer of @sUASnews quoted about the fear false Airproxes against drones are causing: thetfordandbrandontimes.co.uk/news/25294851.…

As yet the FBI are refusing the release of the document(s) involved, but they have confirmed the investigation into the drone panics in New York & New Jersey had noted similarities to the panic at London Gatwick Airport in 2018.

Confirmed Skydiver IS @DJIGlobal @DJIEnterprise @DJIGlobal @DJIFlySafe as we all expected.

A drone or a submarine? 🫧 A student just built a drone that flies through the air and swims underwater — and it actually works. As part of his Bachelor’s project, Andrei Copaci created a 3D-printed, hybrid drone with variable pitch propellers, meaning the blades shift…

Essex Police using drone legislation to place an airspace restriction to stop media broadcast by drone from near the Bell Hotel. China started this kind of restriction with Tiananmen Square, so it's not a good look for any democracy that closes airspace like this.

This week, I made a new FOIA friend, the FBI. I'll be seeking FOIA facts in both England/Wales and the United States when it comes to drones from now on.

Today I worked on specifying a focus lock for the Meyer-Optik Primoplan 58mm vintage lens so it can be incorporated into a DIY anamorphic. A nice thing about the Internet is you can reach out to foreign companies to build custom parts. Left my idea, right the final design.

Someone in the US has installed a military grade EO/IR head on their property allowing them to view images kilometres away. Pretty bizarre that they're better equipped than many airbases! 😄😁 autoblogus.info/uncategorized/…
