I have 5 batteries. I use an iPad Mini 3. With full charges on the iPad and the controller, I get through all 5 batteries. By this time, I'm ready for a break. I haven't really experienced any fast discharging of the controller.

Cool vids. Sorry bout ur drone.

Agreed, I don't mess with them. I followed their instructions. Did a lot of reading before I ever bought this drone. Almost didnt buy, but now that I read it all, registered, etc. I feel pretty comfortable flying but only when I have permission.

This online app is just way too cool. https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/ Does anyone know if there is any software that creates this output and can be locally installed on a windows pc? I will be remote and want to analyze my logs and would not have any internet or cellular access...

We can object but still fly? What's the purpose in notifying then? ... in my case today, they didn't take my name, didn't take my number ... just said, stay under 100' and call us back when you're done. Doesn't make much sense.

Thanks! "...Thank you and have a nice day." Love that part. :) LOL

Ah. Ok. So if they say no, I can say too bad? How do I report coordinates and radius ... in tower speak?

Is Class D

Been flying remote aircraft (planes and helis) for 15 years. I'm an AMA member and was a member of an AMA approved club. R/C fixed wing guys don't much like helis or drones. Been my experience anyway. So I exited the club scene. So now I fly solo with the Mavic. I'm a safe flyer and also live...

Got it. Thanks -- great forum btw!

If the Mavic is flow 700 ft North, then 300 ft East, what path does it take to return to home? What about waypoints? Does it return based on the waypoint path or shortest distance? Cheers

Really appreciate the info there. I understand now.

Wow that's amazing. I'd a been sort of freaked out watching all that happen.

So using example, MavicPro will ascend 200 ft when initiated?
