Slup - thank you so much for your time and expertise... very helpful. I do recall seeing the word "Battery" appearing on my iPad screen very shortly before the drone becoming unresponsive. Perhaps there was an internal malfunction that's not more fully apparent. I just checked the battery clamps...

OK, haven't created a direct link before; here it is:

have never done a direct share - very helpful, thanks! Here's the link:

I wanted to do a Mavic flight in Atlanta (Glenwood area) this week for a realtor. After parking I saw two city cops on the corner near my intended flight path. Since they were sticking around, I walked over and introduced myself, showed them my GA driver's license and FAA certification, and...

Here's a pic I took from much less than 3,000' of the train station, Main Street, and the castle when it was under construction. I guess it sorta dates me!
