"Supposedly you are allowed much more power from 433MHz with an amateur radio license.
I can't actually work out what a licensed radio operator does that makes them more capable of using that band? Is there some sort of CB frequency to announce your…"

Mitchell Berry commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "Tyrone Drone", for unmanned aerial graffiti (with spray paint and flame thrower)
"Yeah it's a vandal, but at least it has prop guards. Safety first."

Mitchell Berry commented on Rob_Lefebvre's blog post Arducopter Flies Gas Powered Helicopter
"Beautiful machine Rob, congratulations. I have one question:

Mitchell Berry commented on Hai Tran's blog post LiPO Fire onboard Fijian Airlines B737
"what about carry on? even its in LIPO bag. is it ok to take them on 

Contact the airline you plan to fly with, they will be more than happy to tell you what is and isn't allowed on their planes. I haven't seen one yet that allows lipos in the cargo…"
