Good question about rth--you want the altitude high enough to avoid the tallest thing that could be blocking your signal and could cause a crash in a direct return. Trees, buildings, etc. Rth, if I'm not wrong, does not fly as fast as sport mode, and the old advice with mavic pro was use app to...

No bashing intended, playing dumb is a pretty generic, not impolite, saying...I would class it as less rude than the southern saying "bless his heart". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As this link explains, playing dumb can be a good strategy. (Playing dumb doesn't mean being dumb, or doing something dumb) I've...

So the logs show you were flying a lot more than 2 minutes, but you repeatedly claim to have attempted to end your flight after only 2 minutes, and that you suddenly could not see the drone...not that it slowly drifted away. I think you are playing dumb because you were not flying smart and want...

Do helicopters like this broadcast a signal that you can use an app to follow? I think there is something for commercial airlines but I don't know how up to date it is. I like the idea to have a radio but recreational drone pilots probably won't take to that as easily as an app, because it is...

If the guy didn't share the video, would we even know about the near miss?

Why in boats does the lowest powered or slowest craft have right of way, but a drone has to give way to a much faster helicopter flying below 400'? It just seems to me like drones are not going away; and there is already a super super easy way to avoid accidents: don't fly within 5 miles of...

Why does the drone pilot need to be fried? If he was below 400' and within Los... Is it possible the helicopter was flying in the drones airspace rather than the other way around?

Batteries have to be in the cabin! Drone is safer there too. Put it in a fanny pack...

Did you offer to pay a small fee to continue with your drone?

It's funny but living in the carribbean, the sun feels like it's inches away but it's not nearly that hot here. No problems yet flying all summer long. With the phantom 2 after a year the batteries were shot, so far these Mavic batteries are still fine. And I dont have air conditioning at home...

Who are all the people worried about corrosion?? Do none of you fly at the beach to take photos? I was flying through the salt spray as waves crashed 30 feet high after a storm recently, what's the point of owning a drone if you don't fly at the beach?!

Where are you in RD? I spend a lot of time in Santiago and the beaches of the north coast

No issues in or out of Madrid. I did forget a bottle of water and they took that right away...

Careful, if the top pops off the line will foul the prop and will crash. I don't use a getter back after a crash with my phantom, prefer to just pay insurance.

I fly in the Dr frequently...entered and exit the airport with it at least 5 times. At the Christ statue in Puerto plata they told me to land, but everywhere else have had no complaints. One guy even blessed me and my machine [emoji23] But I don't fly in resorts. Where are you staying? Probably...
