I have two Evo 1's in perfect condition. I have been tempted to sell them too, but when I think about it, they are FANTASTIC drones, even though they don't have remote ID. Their features are very advanced, even today. I could put a remote ID dongle on them and IMHO they would still compete with...

Thank you for the link. It reminded me of some things. But it also made me more appreciative of my Evo 1. It was, and still is, a great bird. I am wondering, however, if the battery info discharge number of days that I can set applies to ALL my batteries, or only the one battery that is in the...

Can you tell us what you do to view the battery cycles? Where are you getting you information?

What would you say is the most important thing to do or not do to make your batteries last as long as you have?

It all depends on the deal. For example, I have two V1's that really are in great shape. This drone has 10 batteries all taken care of like they should be. Plus, I have an amplified antenna system. All of these are in Pelican cases. I'm not selling because this does everything a good drone...

I wouldn't worry about opening the case. It's fairly easy to do. But it might be simple corrosion. That does happen, especially in humid environments. Let us know if you get it fixed and good luck.

Wish I knew what the heck I was watching!!

So sorry for your loss. I am personally insured against drone loss with State Farm. I recommend it.

My first guess, like yours, is the antennas. It COULD be sunspot activity (the Kp index), or some other EM interference. The only other thing might be a bad solder connection somewhere. BTW, I have two Evo1s, and they still fly fantastic. I love them, and they won't be affected by the upcoming...

What exactly do you think happened when you did this? Knowing it worked is great, but what was the "magic sauce" that made it work do you think?

I feel your pain. I have two Evo 1's that still operate perfectly. I would sell them if I could (since they also have tons of accessories I bought to turn this into a business), but I have to weigh the price I could get for them against keeping them and just using them, since the Evo 1 is really...

Yes, hire a lawyer (pro bono or taken on retainer so you don't have to put out any cash)! This is a justified lawsuit. I am sorry for your situation and will say a prayer for things to improve for you.

Thank you. That helps. But what I don't really understand about this (and other drone big business technologies) from the FAA's stated purpose in prohibiting BVLS with "regular" drone users is the stated rationale that BVLS creates hazards on the ground. The idea is supposedly that a drone might...

He mentions the "DFR" program. It apparently is about law enforcement. Can someone explain what DFR is and how it works beyond line of sight? The way he is talking, they deploy drones as soon as some incident happens. But how is that possible unless drones are already in the air around the clock?

I have no idea what this post is about. Weird!
