I don't think he's misleading at all. And the lack of restrictions built into Autel drones is what drove me to sell my Mavic and get an Evo. Best drone move I ever made. Autel will warn you that you are in restricted air space. You have to acknowledge that through the app. After that Autel...

Bourbon is great!

I gave my Autel Evo a bath. Fortunately for me the battery came dislodged before it hit the water, so no fried circuitry. I poured isopropyl alcohol through the drone and the battery, liberally. This displaces the water. I poured it through every hole in the drone and battery. Let it sit for a...

I get that. I really do. Part of me applauds the approach DJI has taken. But when you are on a job, being paid for 30-minutes work and it takes 1.5 times that just to get the props to spin, it's frustrating. Or when you are more than a mile outside of X airspace but your drone still won't take...

How so? I think it's a fine suggestion for anyone needing to fly legally when the uninvited copilot that DJI puts in there won't allow you to fly legally. If the OP had the EVO, he would have been able to fly legally? See, he did his home work and was fully aware that he was in a legal...

The solution is the Autel Evo. They don't lock you out. They have the philosophy that it is up to the pilot to be responsible. Some don't like that, but you never are begging a company to unlock YOUR drone that YOU PURCHASED. For that reason, I have an Autel Evo to go along with my Phantom 4...

There's no way he'd be keeping my drone gounded. No way. I would take that as an opportunity to educate him. Irate or not, I'd cite the law to him. If he kept going, I'd call the cops. That being said, my neighborhood has a facebook group. I posted in my facebook group that I am a UAS pilot and...

(deleted by moderator) I shouldn't ask, but how much? What's included?

Same as nicked, fined, something like that. A penalty I guess is a way to say it.

Can you cite this for us? The reason I ask is because, I think it was Ken Heron was flying a drone for fun. He was watching a friend harvest crops. He posted the video with a logo for his friends farm. He was gigged for it as it was "in furtherance of a business". I can't find the video right...

Not willing to fly it over water? You're a wimp....and so am I haha. I just bought my 5th drone, and NONE of them have flown over water. It's purely mental, I know, but I'm mental haha.

I'll be taking my MP and I1 out this afternoon in the 48430 area. Post here if you're interested...

My neighborhood has a facebook group I'm part of. I posted on that group to let the neighbors know I have a drone and that I might, on a rare occasion (it's happened twice in 4 years) fly in the neighborhood. I explained I'm not spying and that I mean no harm. I invited anyone that sees the...

Good article. As Nfhill said, some light editing would be in order, but the points are great. Here (in the US) I get more people either indifferent (at least seeming to be) or curious when I'm out flying. I'll invite them over and show them the screen and even invite them to take the sticks...

Anyone near Fenton? I have a MP and a P3A, always looking to get some time in the air.
