You might try putting them through a couple of charge/discharge cycles (better if done with a device specifically for the task). It may get better, but the internal chemistry won't ever get back to new, or like new condition. That just the nature of lithium batteries. If planning to use your...

We don't need drone coverage, we need to bring back public hangings for these type crimes.

I'd be satisfied with just proper punctuation from the OP. Even a quick spell check would be nice.

At what point does it stop being "recreational"? Kinda like self-driving cars...no thanks, I'll do the driving/flying myself. Now, if talking non-recreational, then whatever makes the job easier! ;)

Just to reiterate, YOU should first find out about the specific airspace where the alleged violation occurred. If it was class G (most likely) then there was NO violation and the FAA won't bother to even leave the office. In my area, there are numerous agricultural aircraft, along with myself...

I stopped in Fairbanks one time several years ago, on my way to Deadhorse. (ERA Helicopters) My favorite is probably Denali with Juneau a close 2nd. In June and July of course...my blood is too thin for your winters! :)

It gave the option of an executable or zip file. I chose the exe and it installed just fine (windows 10). Didn't accept the code first try, but worked on second attempt (new code after each attempt). Might try clearing your cache and see if it makes a difference. ETA: Double check your user...

Ooooo...another rabbit hole, Lol !! I had a Kodak, several of the Lumix series and now Nikon. It's soooo easy to separate me from my money. 😁 But like you said...good times! Once I saw the increased capability of drone cameras, it occurred to me that I should capture local landmarks for...

Depends on what state you register in. Here in Louisiana it cost me a paltry $75 to register my LLC and $35/yr annual report. But, it's not a drone business.

I started like Rchawks, flying rc gliders in 1979. Mounted "Keychain" cameras first, then GoPros, even a full size dslr once (on a Multiplex Twinstar)! Those were certainly the good ole days. I have a second hand Air 2s that I bought for $400 and it's been great for capturing local landmarks...

They prefer you buy the next new drone. $$$$
