    Ahh the Iron Door Saloon. The oldest bar in California. I was there last October. Nice place.

    what is your Obstacle avoidance experience?

    Been turned off for a few years now. Cruising speed is 30 mph vs. 20 mph. Altitude and situational awareness will save your bird.

    Battery #1 & my new dead kick me.!

    I left 3 batteries with a starting charge of ~65% a year. All woke up and work great. If your battery is dead, more than likely is had problems before you stored it. Self discharge set to 3 days.

    Mini A Lockdown by the Sea

    Perhaps, if you would be so kind, you could point out which house is yours. So, I could come for a stay and some flying. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    BANK JOB GONE BAD...

    2.5 miles out, wonder where his battery level was at? Flying BVLOS happens to the best of us; including part 107 pilots. Just keep it off social media.

    Not sure how your eyes are but a good tablet is a necessity. Mini 5 is a solid choice, but there are others too. You can find a list of compatible tablets on this site. You made a good choice by reaching out via this forum.

    Golden Gate Bridge - Legal To Fly or Not?

    There are also minimums to be aware of. For example when flying over GGNRA coastline you can't fly below 1000' With our 400' maximum that makes flights from drones illegal. I highly recommend getting a sectional map to help with all the different rules in this area.

    How to tell my wife when you purchase something

    I took the easy road and stayed single. I come and go when I want, buy what I want, and overall a very happy guy.
