On this episode, we welcome friend of the show, Ken Sherman from Phoenix UAS. We've been flying with Ken for years and he is one of our OG FPV crew members, but this is his inaugural visit to the show. Ken is knowledgeable about drone policy, all things Remote ID (RID), building custom FPV drones, photography and he's even an experienced bike rider too! Join us as we power through some technical issues (please bear with us) and ramble with our friend Ken!--- Guest info:Ken Sherman Phoenix UAShttps://www.phoenixuas.us--- http://RotorRamble.com https://linktr.ee/rotorrambleHosts: Kevin Barber Danny Engesser#drones #rotorramble #desmoinesuavclub #515fpv #iowa #dannyengesser #kevinbarber

We’re back, baby! Rotor Ramble returned to the small screen with our first livestream version of the show. Viewers joined the YouTube livestream as we rambled on about some of the latest drone stories in the world and participated in the conversation through the YouTube chat — viewers also brought topics and questions to the conversation.

Some of the topics we touched on:

• Drones over the California wildfires.
• DJI’s removal of geo restrictions.
• New products, including the DJI O4 units and the DJI Flip.
• Kevin’s adventures in tiny whooping.
• Jersey “drones” — is this still a thing?
• Legislative updates / US-based FPV ESCs
• What have we been up to? Any interesting drone projects?
• Remote ID … if we must. 😂
