As a father of three little ones, I love the idea of challenging their minds. And this experiment sounds fun. You even had me a little curious, so I did a brief google searches and calculations. Have you done that yet? You need: - 703 cubic feet of helium at a cost of over $1000, that doesn’t...

Take a look at the app “Drone Deploy”. I don’t have any affiliation or experience with the app. I recently downloaded it just to look at what it had to offer. It is free with optional add-on purchases. There are a couple project examples in the app. One looks like something you are describing...

Aren’t these batteries “intelligent” so that I don’t have to be? Do people actually have issues with these batteries if they aren’t cared for in a specific way?

Do yourself a favor and give “AirMap” a try. Much more user friendly. I thought they were removed too, upon looking closer, AirMap just changed the shading. The blue dashed lines are still present. At least at my neighboring airport. I do hate the charge though, I am colorblind, so I can’t see...

Do you cut your who skins as well?

I opened up my replacement unit and there is no R in the serial number. It also came in a new bow with a matching serial number on the box. That part surprised me, I expected a somewhat generic box for some reason. I am certain it is a refurbished unit though as there is a slight scuff on top...

I will be receiving a replacement tomorrow. I can let you know. I have also had a great experience with the care refresh process.

You probably started doing this a while back and never caught the changes to this. FAA now says: “drone owners to display the FAA-issued registration number on an outside surface of the aircraft. Owners and operators may no longer place or write registration numbers in an interior...

We are in the same area. Registration and a registration number label is a requirement. Or am I missing something? (I am new at this)

That’s great news, thanks for checking. So the answer to the OP’s original question, is YES.

Next time you do that, see if the “slave” control can change modes (S,P,T)once the “master” is off. I am guessing that is the only limitation in that scenario?

Thank you for the replies guys.

Would you mind expanding on this a little bit? Does the BVLOS waiver automatically come with SGI approval or does that have to be specified in the SGI request? Can other temporary waives be applied as well at that point? Like VO or flying over people? How does a TFR effect manned aircraft...

Roy, was this video shot last Monday? I agree with the others that it was likely a flyby at an event, like a Memorial Day Celebration. Do you have a Veterans Park near by? I had a similar experience on Memorial Day. A C-17 flew over my house. Shook the whole house and set off car alarms in the...
