    STILL no iPhone X Support!

    Flew with my X yesterday and I had no problems. Honestly if it wasn’t full screen, it didn’t bother me because I didn’t notice. Reviewing video, it’s full screen in app editor.

    First hangar 360 shot

    I see the hanger 360 app is free. Do they charge to process the image? EDIT - NM, website claims it's entirely free. I'll give it a shot.

    Traveling to Italy - Regulations

    I was in I was in Italy at the end of June. Traveled Air Ligeus via Dublin to Milan on the way out and British Air through London on the way home. Carried my Mavic and three total batteries in my backpack in a small case I have that holds everything. Had no problems going through security at...

    AMA LiPo guide

    I figure I'll leave this here as an FYI. Yesterday I had a question about LiPo batteries. Today I wake up with an email from AMA with an informative guide. LiPo Battery Basics | Model Aviation EDIT: looks like a 2015 article but still good info.

    Silly question, but discharging batteries prior to travel?

    Discharged. Have a LiPo bag with me and terminals are capped. But I'm leaving the batteries in the case, not in LiPo bag unless TSA says something.

    Silly question, but discharging batteries prior to travel?

    Taking a trip with my MP tomorrow and need to discharge batteries. Flew two down yesterday. With errands that need to be taken care of today, I'm afraid I might not get any flying time. Any problem just leaving Mavic on all day to discharge the remaining batteries? Worst case, I suppose I...

    Planning a risky flight and have some questions.

    I would check the sectional charts for the area. i have a few hospital heliports around me. They are all class E airspace with a floor of 700' AGL. Everything from the surface to 700 is actually unrestricted class G, fine for flying. No authorization needed. However, DJI tells me I'm in class D...

    iPad Mini - directly into RC or third party mount?

    Just curious how you are using your Mini with your Mavic. And if you are using a mount, anyone think the one they are using is great enough to recommend? Any to be avoided? EDIT: One more question. If I tether a Mini to my phone, am I correct in assuming the Go App will will be able to load...

    DJI Restricted areas are CIRCULAR. All NFZ's are not Circular!

    Looking at DJI's Geo System map, they did just use a gigantic NFZ circle that encompasses all of Columbus. DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography

    Proposed path for Alcatraz & Golden Gate

    The problem is that DJI's NFZs don't actually follow the actual NFZ boundaries. They are just big circles that encompass the entire NFZ. But looking at DJI's own Geo System NFZ, the area you want to fly doesn't appear to a DJI NFZ. SO you're probably good to go. DJI - The World Leader in...

    DJI Restricted areas are CIRCULAR. All NFZ's are not Circular!

    @Quad808 you live in Hawaii. You'll get no sympathy from me. LOL

    DJI Restricted areas are CIRCULAR. All NFZ's are not Circular!

    Actually, looking at a sectional chart, all of Columbus is under class E with a floor of 700 AGL. Which shouldn't be a problem. The problem is that most of Columbus is class D airspace due to the Columbus Airport. You should be able to fly with warnings and you should be asking for approval...

    DJI Restricted areas are CIRCULAR. All NFZ's are not Circular!

    I'm sure DJI just does this out of sheer programming convenience. It's far easier to make a circular NFZ that encompasses the entire actual NFZ thus covering a lot of area that is not NFZ, than it is to map out the actual NFZ. My whole city is under class E airspace with a floor of 700' AGL...

    Taken by the Wind... Bye Bye Mavic

    I realize that unfolded or mostly unfolded props align correctly as they spin up. And I'm definitely no physics expert, far from it, but I don't know if a fully folded prop is able to unfold on spin up as each blade needs to unfold in a separate directions. It seems like the spin could unfold...
