Loosens collar with finger...."heh, well, er um...."

From now on my mantra is, "Early Adopter, Never Again!" Repeat.

Ba-ZING!!!! Here comes the retaliation from all the drone-chicks....any minute now......

Haven't been able to fly recently, but my phone and all its GPS using apps have been bellyaching all week here in NE Okla...

I laughed at the Before You Fly App when I saw it included every helipad and private-property ultralight strip registered with the FAA as a 5-mile mile no-fly nexus.....then THIS....3 miles south of my abode :) Small Plane Lands On Memorial Drive In Bixby Sort of Joking...but within this...

The no-fly stuff is worthless indeed. The eye clinic down the road where I got Laziks ten years ago is listed as a heliport. I assume if an "airport" doesn't have active control, I don't have to inform its control tower if I intend to fly w/in five miles of it? Yes, the avatar is from the...

Is the "Plan Your Flight" thing part of the new update, or the last? It shows me in a red zone for being 4.8 mile from an UltraLight airport I never new existed (and I've checked)....but it totally disregards Tulsa International...

Yes! I was credit card debt free for about 30 minutes, until I got that e-mail....now I'm a four battery man....

Thanks for the input. According to my owner's manual, I apparently DO have a 12V accessory socket! I've never had occasion to use it and have never seen the thing. It must be hidden way down in the console somewhere. Not that that will let me charge a Solo battery, as you say....

Or even USB to car charger...now that I have your attention......... I drive a 2014 Mazda 3 and I love the hell out of it! It sports no cigarette lighters, but puts maximum power to two USB ports. Any of you Einstein's cop to a way to put the juice through the USB port to the Solo battery...

Rather than post picks, since professionally taken pics are aplenty on the above posted link, Ill tell you another story: The pack arrived and I took it out of the box and unzipped it and looked inside...and thought "how the heck is the gimbal gonna fit?" then I realized, they'd sent me the...
