I had a similar problem. A few days ago, went to a sometimes-blocked zone and flew successfully. It asked me the three questions about being qualified and assuming any responsibility and up I went. Was there yesterday with same results. Then I went about a 1/2 mile away, and couldn't even start...

When I had a Phantom, I used to hand-land it occasionally. The landing gear was large enough to get a grip on it and still use one hand to shut it down. Also, no obstacle avoidance. Now, with a Mavic, it doesn't like it when I reach for it because of the obstacle avoid thing. If the ground is...

Well, that's what I thought I did, and it didn't seem to like it; hence my original question.

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.
