    What a jerk, I feel sorry for the pilot.

    Most new lithium phosfate and sodium based batteries don't burn not only is energy density increasing but also saftey.trust the science

    Battery explosion, house nearly burnt down

    Lithium ion battery's can and do burn. My house burned down 2 years ago from a failed lithium battery. The unit was not a drone battery rather a prototype motorcycle. I am redoing the build but using lipofe4 batteries as they do not burn. I know of another home nearby that burned due to a weed...

    Mini SE Sexy legs

    I have these and what's nice is you just leave them on as they don't interfere with fitting in the case On Amazon - Amazon.com: Mavic Mini 2 Landing Gear, Foldable Extended Landing Leg with Propeller Holder for DJI Mini 2 / Mavic Mini Accessories : Toys & Games

    Landing Manually (Properly)

    I just hand land or grab I almost never do the pad or on the ground. Here is a trick however - Bring the drone down to shoulder level facing away from you then quickly slide your hand under the drone, this disables the down sensors so just stick down and easy peasy.

    FAA to UAS Violation Enforcement for December 2021 (hopefully one of many)

    This is good - sort of. It's bad that someone gets fined $15k for doing a dumb thing but good in the sense I have been selected to give a talk to our local Rotary Club on drones. Part of it will be on laws related to not only flyers but idiots who shoot down drones and the related jail terms...

    POLL Did you pass part 107 the first try?

    The thing to remember is 70 is passing and it doesn't matter what score as long as you get 70. Once you pass you will never use the info except when retesting every 2 years. I downloaded a 100 test question sample, took a hour or so to memorize the answers then passed initially then again last...

    My only Dislike about the Mavic three

    This was a complaint with the MA also - just get a cheap set of tweezers and use that. I have a set in each drone bag and it's just plain handy

    Am I in the wrong?

    Yes I agree and don't you think foreign countries have satellites capable of getting better detail than even a low flying quad?

    Tablet for Old Eyes!

    Best tablet for brightness and ease of use in direct sunlight is the tripltek. It's great and supports dgi go, dgi fly and litchi downside is it is quite heavy

    Litchi Update 2/23/2022

    I have an old CS which does not support dji fly or google services but I downloaded Litchi using the amazon app and it works great on my Mini 2 as it will on the Air 2s

    Part 107 online coarse, are they worth it?

    Personally I would say no. I am in general a poor test taker but 3 years ago I downloaded 100 test questions from the FAA website and studied the night before testing then passed with flying carpets. Last year I had to renew and did the same with no issues. I would say most people can simply...

    An ideal Tablet.

    I have the tripltek which is great however it's very heavy so I only use it on my Mavic zoom for commercial work. On all others I use my 5 inch crystal sky which works with all my DJI drones with litchi. The fly app will not load on this older unit but litchi is better anyway.
