We Chinese we play joke...

 But the contemporary twist here is. ZLL hobby drone SG906 beast does seem to be a real Chinese JOKE! 

The GENERIC remote control device displays a "battery full" symbol when first switched on (on/off button positioned midway between Off & On is only way to activate it) 

But when charge level verified by plugging charge cord in the R/C battery level indicator then shows the battery IS NOT FULLY CHARGED and in fact requires indefinitely more time to reach a FULLY Charged symbol!  

 This silly malfunction is suspected to be a deliberate trick to get owners of this "brand" drone to become frustrated with the unreliability of the R/C and assume they need to buy a NEW one.

Which is "listed as an accessory" because theoretically the product can also be flown with only it's smartphone app! (But not as far, high or as safely as using its R/C radio device)

Boeing DoomLiner to join space junk parade

 Even though Boeing's latest failure will never carry humans again it's production line still has a useful mission! 

Future DoomLiners can be deployed to haul NYC garbage on one way voyages into the Sun! 

These important missions will undoubtedly insure THE SUN WILL NEVER SET on "Too big to fail Boeing Federal aerospace"  .

Product ideas! "DRONE FONE"

 Rather than searching for Remote Identification Module add ons for non- compliant UAVs AND buying a smartphone primarily or exclusively to use to operate a UAV WiFi app for FPV ("windshield" view from front of drones)

Both of which start at about $100. Why not combine both an RID (FAA required) and a hybrid drone pilot's fone into one unit?

The hybrid drone-phone would not make any calls except emergency 911 with hidden key.  It would spare the drone pilot the distractions of calls, messages,texts bloatware and irrelevant updates while downloading only UAV / hobby drone related apps from an Apple-like store! 

 On the sending end the drone fone's RID unit would broadcast the required ID information of the UAV/drone in flight as well as the owner operator/pilot's ID and control location to concerned authorities. 

 The RID fone might also include an app allowing the RID owner to verify his ID transmission status (hidden key to avoid distractions from piloting his/her airborne craft.)

This invention would combine the costs and clutter of both operator's devices and make the RID add-on units more mass marketable and keep telecom devices from being bought simply to install UAV applications instead of making calls! 

HOBBY DRONES NO RULES SAYS SCOTUS!

 In keeping with its dismantling of "The administrative state" The U.S. Supreme Court has banned the FAA from dictating where civilians can fly their toy and commercial drones! 

 As Judge Kavanaugh said my kids love flying their drones and no bureaucracy should keep them from going sky high if they want to. The ball field at prep school has become way to boring! 

Judge Thomas wrote that so long as drones are not used to perform abortions he has no opinion "since drones are a plaything of white folk."
