2 places on eastside of river that i have flown from. They are both public property. Here the coordinates just paste them into your google map browser 45.505894, -122.664492 and 45.514552, -122.668218

Macs are great, I used to be a Mac guy. But I guess I am a rare ex-Mac person who has removed myself from their ecosystem. I did this because I am trying to simplify life and be engaged in electronic ecosystems and stuff at my business is all windows/google/android. As for laptop, I purchased a...

Thank you Gary. :-)

Thanks for your kind comments. I am glad you enjoyed it.

This is from last Sunday. I got ATC authorization via LAANC for this flight 3-4 weeks prior. Was hoping for a rare sunny day (it was!) to film the cherry blossoms. When seeking authorization several weeks prior, I had no idea that all state parks (including this) would be closed the very next...

Good for you and good for your students they are so lucky to have you I am sure. I can only re-iterate and remind you (and you can choose to believe me or not) the problem here is NOT the user (me). I know how to work with the very-flawed DJI flysafe system, especially after as much...

I believe DJI simply has the best drones, overall and have a large array of choices. And it seems to me that most DJI owners do NOT seem to have major or frequent problems with their DJI drones. That is why i bought one recently, despite having read and heard various nightmare stories over last...

Okay, I guess it looks different on different devices. See attached photo of what it looks like on my Pixel 3 XL phone. The small i (info) inside the circle is what i clicked on and then followed that procedure above. I sent them a report about some inaccuracies for my local area. I have not...

Long story, short, they get their satellite and map data from MapBox. This service is probably just not as good as google maps or yahoo maps (my guess). A lot of the data seems to be from 2014. You can submit corrections to mapbox. 1-You can click on the lower right corner of the app's map...

My experience has been this (when the system works as designed) the drone will just stop and you will not be able to fly into that blue zone. It will not RTH. But, I am not sure if one can self-unlock (while hovering there in the air) and proceed further, as i have not attempted this.

Thank you Gindra. That is very kind of you to offer. My current plan is to keep the kit up for sale while at same time, getting an ipad mini 4th gen or 5th gen and see if that solves the problem. LAANC is not the problem for me and I too have had relatively no problems with LAANC via AirMap...

Awesome, thank you for that correction. I do not really follow or keep up with recreational rules as i am always flying under part 107 rules. But yes my conversation with FAA at KPDX was in early 2018 so that was likely the law at the time.

ParkGt: Just read the second to last small paragraph in my original post (where it says "on a positive note...". That is all you really need to read. The rest is nothing but a big negative rant, don't worry about it. Cheers.

Yes, of course sorry if I did not mention the main blue zone I am dealing with is for Class G airspace airport KMMV (McMInnville). Remember though, i am flying under part 107 rules. I live in a town that is within the east end of this airport and the place i practice in (which DJI would not...

Brett, thank you for your comment. I have owned the Evo for over one year and it is like a child to me, I love it so much. But, as wonderful as it is for the money, as I matured as a pilot and videographer/photographer, I naturally desired to step up to something a bit better so that is why i...
