    EAGLE EYE BEAK STICKER TO SAVE FROM BIRDS ATTACK

    I placed my FAA # on top of my Mavic Air with metallic label maker tape and it caused all kinds of problems with GPS signal. Peeled it off and situation resolved!

    A crazy lady smashed my drone

    I have my part 107. When I fly I have cones out around my launch area. I wear a high vis. Licensed FAA drone pilot Do Not Disturb vest. If someone approaches I turn my back for a moment so they can read the vest. Some might say it's overkill but it works. Cones and a vest are cheap compared to...

    I Am having a problem with a weak GPS signal almost every flight. I'm flying in fairly populated areas. I've got my part 107 and working on real estate projects. For the most part I just deal with it, I've been an RC pilot for years. It's a pain going in and out of ATTI mode though! Today I...

    Mavic Air ATTI mode

    I have had great success flying my Mavic Air for real estate photography with my part 107 and recreational flying. While flying I will get a loss of GPS warning and it will go in and out of ATTI mode. This happens in fairly populated areas. The only thing that I think could be part of the...
