Simon Wright who owns Whirlpool? If so, not surprised.

Do me a favor, stop posting and I’ll do the same.

Lol, ok. Gotta love forums.

Ok, they must be busy then, been awhile……

TBH, I’m not remotely bothered by the opinions of others, especially when it comes to this hobby that I’m not overly invested in, I fly for fun, as safety as needed. I’m not silly with it, and if some people get upset, it’s actually their issue, not mine.

Using screws on the props is the sole reason I have not bought one of these drones. The Mavic system is superior.

On a good day, especially where I am, you can have 31 satellites linked, drone doesn’t move an inch.

All I will say, regulations aside, in that area, apart from a random helicopter that may breeze by (once or twice yearly), there’s nothing out there, and a tiny Mavic cursing around well out of anyone’s sight, not heard nor seen, would cause any attention to anyone. Even the lads at the station...

Regulations aside……………. To me, going out that far is no less reliable than a drone 100 feet away. If a drone will fail, if your not there to catch it, it don’t matter how far or close by it is. As a matter of fact, right where that video ends (edited out) is the point that I lost signal, and as...

It’s a typical hobbyist forum mentality. Some approach people in a way that will make me listen to what you want to tell me, while others will just go for the throat. At the end of the day, I joined up to have a good read, if I get unfriendly pushback, I’ll just log off and carry on flying how I do.

A helicopter was flaying in that exact area today, probably lower than I fly around there. It happens, but it’s rare. There’s never ever and other aircraft. Not making excuses, but you can hear them coming a mile away. If it happens to be while I’m flying even on the opposite side of the...

How do you know that that area wasn’t active when I was there? I don’t, do you? It says ‘Use Caution” i never fly over the complex, just around it.

See the location I’m pointing at, and the lack of the dji map mentioning any restrictions in that area, that’s exactly where that tracking station is at. It’s not a restricted flying zone.

I’m sure I’ll sleep at night. But thanks for pointing it out. But please explain your issue, flying my drone in an area completely devoid of any population ………………

I could never go back to a Pro after the 3. I have never felt more secure when flying than with the 3.
