What the video from the Volvo race doesn't show is the catcher's rain gear sliced open and a nasty gash on his arm that required stiches.

Born and raised in Philly but left there in '65 and don't get back much so your vid was a nice update. Thanks!

My exact thought. QUESTION FOR FOR DJI : If you took off with a severe compass error and the out of control drone was headed towards a group of people (with in-flight CSC set to default “emergency only”) would this be enough of an emergency to allow you to perform a CSC?

Every forum, there's always a guy who has to demonstrate he's the smartest rudest dude in the room.

I've flown my M2Z with the CS down to 2 bars but never experienced your issue. Did you possibly change cables? Maybe try flying without so much ground time? I believe it gets pretty hot in the NT this time of year and that might be degrading your CS's performance. I don't know if there's...

Drones are banned in the 5 boroughs of NYC except in designated areas. Technically, the World Trade Center (WTC) is governed by a joint NY and NJ commission named the World Trade Organization (WTO) which prohibits drone usage at the WTC. As of ther summer of 2020, the last time I was there...
