    Stratux - no wifi

    The 3b+ board consumes more electricity, but it as a faster CPU. It may not be relevant, but it is not problematic on its own. The rolling log hack frees you from having to shutdown the box after every flight, without the risk of data card corruption.

    Androids or iSheep?

    So far, it's been solid. There are a few drawbacks, they are minor to me though (weekend renter): - Integration with Avionics: it works well with most but sometimes it doesn't receive traffic from Avydine units (Garmin is ok) - When you file IFR thru the app, you won't receive your route unless...

    “You Can’t Terminate FF”

    This past weekend I was on an IFR plan in vmc, was being vectored a little and decided to cancel. Controller came back with "I'll keep you for a little longer". I said ok and 5-10 minutes later he acknowledged the cancellation and I squawked VFR. Never heard something like this. I was under the...

    The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) - New FAA Drone Exam

    The site says it's for pilots flying drones heavier than 0.55lb. Is it also for other drine pilots flying something like the DJI Mavic (the one that weighs 249 grams, I e gram less than the limit)?
