    Costa Rica - Flying rules recreationally.....does anyone have access to clear guidelines on what to do before you fly your drone in CR recreationally?

    All went well. Here is a contact at the CGAC which basically is their FCC counterpart: Allen Viguez, email [email protected]. He confirmed via email that as a recreational user you mainly have to obey the main rules of drone flying to protect the public, no insurance, no registration. Slightly...

    Mini Mavic- Costa Rica

    I registered my drone on the DGAC website and it looks like it stored my information on there. The question I have is how do you receive a confirmation of the registration? Are you supposed to make a copy off the website?

    Good day everyone.....I am planning to spend a weekend in December in Colorado Springs and of course Garden of the Gods is on the travel agenda as well. Thinking about using my drone there but it seems to be pretty expensive to get a commercial drone and film permit - even though my focus would...

    Drone flying at Monument Rock State Park in Kansas

    Good day, folks ...has anyone had any experience with drone flying at the Monument Rock State Park in Kansas? It is like I said part of an official State Park now and I assume that typically drone flying is not allowed with prior approval. Anyone knows whether it is possible to get pre-approved...

    "Popular Chinese-Made Drone Is Found to Have Security Weakness"

    This is only slightly related to the topic but would the same security concern exist with running DJI' s Mimo app for their Osmo Action cam? Any thoughts?

    How many MM owners have been trouble free?

    Had my MM since November 2019 and no problems so far after over 75 flights. Only thing that happened was a broken front leg which was really the result of me mishandling the MM at one point. Otherwise, so far very happy with the little bird...

    DJI Currently Not Shipping Mavic Mini

    Steve, you cancel the order with DJI and replace it with one of the resellers here in the US that has inventory. As long as the unit hasn't shipped yet, the should refund your money pretty quickly. I did the same in November last year after they had launched the product and had serious delays...

    Mini modifications

    Regarding your tablet question, you might just want to use the search function to look for the many times this topic has been discussed here.

    Drone videos of deserted cities during the pandemic

    So here is the question: if you live in one of the cities that is under lock down, are you allowed to fly your drone outside, away from your home? I dont think it would be considered an essential activity..? Thoughts anyone

    Info in UAV forecast

    I noticed that but the only thing that makes sense is if they were for two different spaces still in the same area/city since I did not move much around over the last few days. Yet wind gusts and cloud cover are very different numbers. Not sure how to explain that...
