    The fastest way to get a Mavic

    I am on a driving vacation from South Florida back up through Louisville Ky. so I will be popping in a few best buys along the way, I need a new camera for the online pictures here at the car lot and my wife is due for a new laptop so plenty reason to hit a few along our way, maybe I will get...

    50 years old starting first fligt

    It is a great time to begin droning around, they have become so refined that even after all the reading you have done you will still be thoroughly impressed with the flight characteristics. I bet you will gain a feeling that this is more instrument quality rather than as toyish as you might...

    50 years old starting first fligt

    Ya, I'm 52 also, started flying a P2V+ at 49 or 50, they are a lotta fun, I am waiting on them to be readily available at list price but staying tuned in pretty close. It is usually not the best thing to get the very first of a new model from DJI but with that said they sure seem to be a company...

    Flying near Disneyland

    I personally think anyone should be able to fly up to some predetermined safe ceiling at least within the confines of their property. I am not a big fan of govt. over reaching intrusion into individuals freedoms or property rights. The restriction looks over reaching to me but the FAA mostly...

    FAA AGL 400' but what if you are on a ridge at 850', fly at 1250'?

    Definitively correct ?? don't even matter to me and here is why, I am not positive but, I am a pilot for 25 years and Manned airplanes can and are allowed to fly anywhere they generally want in unrestricted airspace down to 500' so is playing with a toy and the pleasure or desire to go higher...

    Propeller cage.

    Seems plausible !! I would also thing there might be some modified flight characteristics as well since I know the phantoms can do a few weird thing with the guards installed.

    Two guys in the same area flying within 5 miles of airports

    I think we need to let folks police themselves as the system is now set up to educate and do so, and fly our own drones rather than spending our time irresponsibly calling out others for maybe doing something wrong.

    Amazon makes first delivery to customer

    I'd guess those first customers were across the street or at least near by :) is how they were chosen. I am also predicting updates to the airspace rules in the USA as drones get more prolific for commercial delivery purposes and air apace will be given to commercial users above recreational...
