    Every wonder if you can fly the Mavic in a flying Jet?

    Actually the cabin altitude varies with the type of plane and the plane's flight altitude. It's not uncommon, at the 35,000 - 37,000' cruise altitude range the cabin would be around 7,000'. Upon descent, the landing airport's altitude plays into the equation. I should add that I was referring...

    RTH or fly home?

    @dtwrlewis, geez sounds like the noise abatement takeoff out of FRA. LOL. I'm also a newbie but it seems like you are being conservative not knowing exactly how it works. I'm the same way with a lot of the features. IMO that shows great discipline.

    RTH or fly home?

    We all view things thru different lenses. Mine is from an airline aviator view. We have what are called SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and Technique. SOP must be followed and technique is how you want to do it. For example, if I am flying at Flight Level 290 (29,000') and Air Traffic...

    Rules on the Great Wall in China?

    I was wondering if that was what it did. I used to get over to BeiJing or ShangHai 2-3 times a month and would make a list of places I wanted to see then look for them on Google Earth. Then I'd have to figure the offset to get a visual of the place.

    First Crash

    Are all props the same? Are 3rd party props ok. I found these prices on Amazon: 4 blades from best4sale, by dji for $39.99. Then 2 for $11.00 from drone fans. Both Amazon Prime. Then Creazy has 4 for $8.90 but are "suitable for Mavic". B&H has 2 for $9. Anyway, big price differences per blade...
