landing sprigs

The landing gear of a drone or quadcopter. They are often U-shaped, but can often be peg-shaped legs as well.
Chiefly used in the UK, but is seeing more use in the US as of late.

For this flight, I reattached the bucking fusted landing sprigs and gave it a go.

windometer

Plain and simple: an anemometer.
An anemometer is an instrument used for measuring wind speed.

Winds were clocked with my stupid sodding "rotten cat pee yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) as being variable to 3.60mph (4.36kph) at the surface.

DWS

DWS = Drone Withdrawal Syndrome.
For a long-time droner (drone pilot), DWS can kick in when you aren't able to fly your drone for an extended period. This can be due to inclement weather, illness, or even having your only drone stolen (which happened to me not long ago!).

Symptoms of DWS can include any or all of the following.
1: Drone envy -- whenever you see a UAV in the sky, you just wish that you had a long-handled butterfly net to snag it out of the sky.
2: General malaise and/or lethargy.
3: Spending an inordinate amount of time on YouTube watching videos of your own or others' drone flights.

DWS is curable simply by purchasing and then flying a new drone.

Man I've got a hella wicked case of DWS after some fartknocker stole my X21 drone. I already ordered another, but the fucking thing's coming from China for Christ sakes!!!

faggotistic

Of, or possessing the qualities of being gay; e.g. the stereotypical limp wrist (e.g. the person has LWS aka. broken wrist syndrome), the lisp, the hands on the hips, waving his ass around, etc.

Look at that dude over there. He's so faggotistic, he must be a real flamer!
