How we research and review.
Important claims need suitable sources. Every conclusion should show what supports it, what remains uncertain, and when changeable facts were checked.
Sources, testing labels, corrections, and review dates explained
VERIFIED · 16 AUG 2026Choosing the right source
Specifications, rules, compatibility, availability, and commercial terms should come from the strongest suitable current source. We use manufacturer documentation and government material for factual details, then use reliable independent evidence to understand limits and real-world context.
- Primary sources for rules and specifications
- Current dates for facts that can change
- Direct links when readers may need to verify
- Clear uncertainty instead of assumptions
Showing the evidence level
Pages distinguish official-source research, documented third-party evidence, owner-reported experience, hands-on observation, and controlled comparison. We use a stronger label only when that work actually took place.
Being honest about testing
Research from a desk is not a flight test. We will not imply ownership, flight time, measured range, battery testing, or original photography unless we can support the claim. Supplied or loaned equipment will be disclosed, and access never guarantees a positive conclusion.
Correcting mistakes
When an important factual error is found, we aim to correct it promptly and reconsider any conclusion affected by it. A helpful correction includes the page, the statement in question, the date it was seen, and a current primary source when available.
Keeping pages current
Prices, firmware, app support, product availability, rules, and affiliate terms can change. We check them close to publication and review them on a schedule that fits the topic. A modified date changes only when the visible content or its supporting evidence changes meaningfully.
