Thanks. I'm usually good about these things, but I was trying to get a few things done at once. This is one of those things now that I'll think of every time I change batteries. The mental check list.

I did a search and didn't find anything on this: I was busy so I hope I remembered all the symptoms accurately. I was flying yesterday and I THINK I might have removed a battery from my Air 2 without first powering the 'copter down. I noticed a single LED remained on and I heard a 'beep'...

If they can afford that boat (oh, and that house), one would think they could afford the trash pick-up service...

I sold one and shipped it in its Pelican-like case (Brand was Nanuck, I think). I not only duct taped the case, I put a combination lock on it and emailed the combination to the buyer 2 days after I dropped it off at the UPS store - after he paid me. All went smoothly. Hope yours works out in...

Hey, they could charge admission. Pier Excursions®

Well, I must say that a fishing pier with propeller blades does, indeed, require some imagination.

Yes. Several issues in the writing. I see that more and more in on-line news.

They forgot to include the "No Fun" regulation.

I have a "Question Authority" bumper sticker. We could stick it to this sign.

Now that's cool. The Hanatora adapter. I see they have one for the Air 2s. Are the batteries for the Air 2 the same? I'd love to be able to charge my batteries in the car.

I think what's going on here is that several battery brands, including Mavic, have USB adapters through which you can charge other USB devices, like phones or ear buds. My Air 2 "Fly More" kit has one. I put the adapter onto a fully charged Mavic battery, plug a USB cable into the adapter, and I...

Agreed. Great for camping and stuff.

My Air 2 "Fly More" kit came with an adapter that I can put on a battery and charge a phone or other USB device. I have those for Milwaukee Tool batteries, as well.

OK. Long time ago. I started with a cheap quadcopter just to see if I'd like it. I live in the woods. On its second flight, I got brave enough to go above the trees and it was immediately taken away by the wind and disappeared into the forest. Luckily it was cheap, and it gave me just enough of...

I agree with trusting your inner voice. Murphy's Law would dictate that IF something is going to go wrong, it will be whey you're flying over water, a deep canyon, or some other area where it would be catastrophic if anything went awry.
