This channel is dedicated to RC flying models, jet engines and the occasional rant about things like electric cars and energy scams.
It's goal is to be both entertaining and informative. You decide if it succeeds in doing that and, if you like it, please subscribe.
You might also want to visit my other CZcams channel, RCModelReviews where I cast an objective eye over new products in the RC marketplace.

Most of my early video was taken with an aging Panasonic camcorder (of 2002 vintage) and I edited that stuff with Microsoft Movie-maker. Despite these limitations, the results aren't too bad (I think).
More recently I've switched to a Sony PJ760VE HD camcorder with "super steady shot" and that's made a huge difference to the quality of the videos. I'm also editing with Sony Movie Studio and that also helps.
I'm no expert videographer but if you have any questions about my videos, just ask and I'll try to answer them.

The FAA oversteps the mark, prohibits drone hobbyist from flying INSIDE their own house.
No excuses on behalf of PhillyDroneLife but the FAA has massively over-stepped their mandate by effectively claiming authority over the airspace *INSIDE* Mikey's house. Tell us what you think about the FAA's actions in the comments and make sure you're subscribed for the video coming up in which I will demonstrate just how poorly the FAA is handling *everything* right now and how this is costing human lives -- while they're far to busy persecuting someone who has:

Should drone regulations be based on myths and disinformation? (part 2)
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 4 měsíci
Those who fly a drone or RC plane in the UK have the opportunity to take a stand over the ridiculous over-regulation proposed in the UK CAA's CAP2610 "Remote ID" regulations. These proposed changes are far more about control than they are about identifying drones and their operators. Should UK hobbyists hand over the keys to the hobby without a wimper or should they summon up a fist-full of tes...

We found Mikey’s ho! czcams.com/video/0Vbvt5ggMOU/video.htmlfeature=shared
More powe to you!! If only one CZcams, TickTock or Instagram addicted kid sees this video and gets up off the chair or away from the computer to fly an RC aircraft, your risk was worthwhile.

This is the most unrealistic regulator produced video, which only shows its purpose is to persuade and scare ignorant people.
I've experienced worse landings than that on Ryanair.

Mann! Wenn dat der dicke Hermann wüsste oder soooo! ☝️☝️☝️☝️
Bruce, please give us an update on what is happening out at the air-field? You still have a shop out there right? Thanks!
Here is another one for ya. Go figure. A recent incident above the USS Ronald Reagan at Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan has sparked a Navy investigation after apparent drone photography surfaced on social media platforms. The incident highlights new challenges for maritime security, with drones capable of quickly gathering intelligence or potentially posing a threat with malicious intent. There is more to this story, but I couldn't copy it all.
Mikey is a Munson. A real life Munson. A zero point zero. Sad but true. AKA, vag-fart
This is just the latest in Government overreach from the Biden Administration.

Contempt for authority is not a crime. Committing criminal offences is a crime.

Be careful with your skits they will be after you for impersonating a jackass i mean a government officials
Clickbait. Fabulous aircraft though.
Your comment about Mike not being able to fly indoors is made up and false. You're looking to sensationalize this for your benefit. The FAA regulates the national airspace, not your living room.
How do you feel about felons owning guns? As a part 107 pilot, I don’t agree with all of the rules, but I follow them anyway. Mike should have followed them too. If he had, then the court document you presented wouldn’t even be a thing. Regulation is necessary because people are stupid. Operations over people is a prime example. Without remote ID and registration requirements, we all know the amount of flying that would occur in urban areas over people and roadways would go up exponentially which, in turn, would increase the chances of a drone falling from the sky and hitting a person or crashing through the windshield of a vehicle.
Its very irresponsible of you to promote trashing large signs into public property, even if it was done digitally. Think of all of the children.
OMG! Make sure you never go to the movies, watch TV or read a good book -- some of the stuff there promotes murder, robbery and all sorts of violence. Why don't they think of the children!
Excellent plane!! It flies wonderfully, that was before the time of foam and electric airplanes... wonderful time. Very good video, it is very well recorded and looks very good, could you please tell me what camera it was recorded with? Thank you very much and greetings. Jesus.
😂😂 would love to see them come inforce that....faa needs to stay in their own lane....
Thank You....Tears...Looking forward to the video...
Mikey Munson!
Could have been worse. I wouldn't even call it a fail.
i hit the thumbs down cuz its fucked up mikey has to go thru this
Seems like the flying wings don’t work well.
....Makes me want to go round a pub in some small village and talk about football.
Bruce, what are your opinions on the new DJI goggles 3 with regard to their two way video and radio transmission and receivers that close to your head (brain)? I can see less of a concern in CE power level countries. I would love to see the radiation patterns of the googles 3 transmission antennas and if there is any rf protection for the head?
Don't care about Mikey. You can't fix stupid.
Try doing the advanced drone liscence for Canada. what a crock of shit..
I completely agree with you. personally I wouldn't really care though. It's absolutely unenforceable. if I was Mikey I'd be flying all I wanted to, I just wouldn't put it on video anymore.
Does Ron have his own site? If so, what is the name of it? Thank you. Your videos Rock. Watch them all the time. Great videoing Bruce.
Over-regulation killed this hobby for me. I have a hanger full of birds that haven't flown in about 5 years.
He's lucky he wasn't thrown in jail. He can't be trusted with a drone, he has proven that.
Some times I riddle, would we really be worse off with a dictator?... Probably NOT!
As somebody living outside of the USA, why you guys always say you are so free? This guy is not even allowed to fly a toy in his own house. How is that freedom?
