DJI May Have Their Drones Removed From US Market
DJI is often called the “Apple” of the drone world. They do make good quadcopters. I try to avoid buying items made in China (not easy and I am nowhere near 100%… not even close, yet) for many reasons. Too many reasons to list here. With that said, I do have a DJI Mavic Mini…

Evoy Electric Outboard Motor Is World’s Strongest

Official Craigslist iOS App Took 11 Years To Get Here
Craigslist.com is a great place for selling just about anything since 1995. Up until now, Craigslist has only supported the web browser as an interface for selling/buying.
