    Drone shot at today!

    Some people shouldn’t own one at all, they are irresponsible and their loved ones often pay the ultimate price because of it. Then there’s the crazy ones that think they can do stuff like this…The owner was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon- should have also been attempted murder as he...

    Mavic Pro Battery repair - what are my options

    Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind if I need one, but you don’t have to destroy the case to open it, there are clips inside. What I’m talking about is making a taller one that’ll fit different sized cells than the originals. If I do that, I can possibly increase the capacity as well.

    Mavic Pro Battery repair - what are my options

    I’m going to refresh a dead M2 Pro battery also- mainly to learn how to do it for now. In addition to using Battery Killer to reset the BMS, I would assume the 4 internal battery cells are dead and would replace those as well. It’s not worth flying your drone with questionable batteries. I have...

    Air 1 Lake Effect Snow Storm!

    I’d be careful doing that, especially if you can see mist in the air and the temperature is at or below freezing or even slightly above it - iced props have brought down other member’s drones before.

    🙄 Uh, I wouldn’t mess with those, I’d rather go hit a wasp nest with a stick!

    Drone shot at today!

    Only in the U.S., and It’s really because of unjustified fear that it’s being suggested… but that’s all I’ll say about it. Glad the bullet didn’t hit anyone. My neighbor had one come through their bedroom roof last 4th of July. Of all the stupidity some people have, shooting into the air has...

    Updated US NOTAM system coming in February?

    Here’s the NOTAM for the slack line you mentioned, it was posted on the FAA website before that helicopter accident happened, and it shows that the line was marked with aviation flags and strobes (“LGTD”). Too bad the pilot didn’t see the NOTAM, nor the flagged line. What a terrible accident...

    Updated US NOTAM system coming in February?

    They are already online for all to see - pilots and anyone doing anything in the airspace should be reading them before flying, including all of us before we fly a drone. Here’s the link: https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/

    Updated US NOTAM system coming in February?

    @Vic Moss: any updates on what the updated NOTAM system will entail? I heard that it will be released next month (February, 2026). Thanks!

    Mavic 2 pro found!

    I put my name and phone number on the outside of mine with a sharpie - don’t care what it looks like - and also saved my contact information as a text file named “findersreward.txt” on the memory card.

    The FCC ban on all foreign made UAS and UAS "critical components"

    Uh… it’s going to be with us for at least another 3 years, could be more depending on things. Money talks though, and it also rules the tides of politics.

    Can't turn off the Air 3

    Double click the battery button? Sound like a battery issue?

    The FCC ban on all foreign made UAS and UAS "critical components"

    Meanwhile, somebody’s family member is undoubtedly going to profit even more with the ban… https://www.capitoltrades.com/articles/drone-maker-tied-to-donald-trump-jr-secures-u-s-army-contract-2025-10-29

    Mini 5 waypoints

    Don’t use it then. VLM is awesome and works really well. Its terrain following capabilities are the best. Subscriptions to other programs to do that suck.
