I'll be visiting Thailand in April, and I will be bringing along my Mini 3 Pro. If things are still as restricted then as you say they are currently, I'll probably have some questions for you (so please don't disappear 😜). Thanks for keeping us posted on the situation (and hopefully, the...

OK, I'll behave...

OP insists he can accurately estimate aircraft altitudes from the ground. Not believable. OP says he knows someone who flies airplanes literally at treetop altitudes. Not believable. OP doesn't say much about where exactly he is seeing all these airplanes tangling with the trees. The federal...

Good!

Really? It doesn't look like it to me (and I'm thousands of miles away from where you sit). If the screenshot above (which you uploaded, I just highlighted the v-e-r-y obvious clues) really shows the page you downloaded from, it's pretty clear. This is a download for a Mac OS desktop/laptop...

I *think* (based on a screen shot) the OP is using a computer running some version of Windows, but that he downloaded the Mac version of the app. If that's the case, he should stop and start over with downloading the right bits. Macs don't need a separate app to unzip a Zip file. For Windows...

OMG!!!! I have Done Assist right here! Used it extensively in June when I was visiting the UK (see an example below). I'm all registered with EASA, drone labelled, both the drone and me are fully-compliant with all the regs - already. You're right - the app works for Italy. Holy cow...

Preface: I live in the USA. I've been flying airplanes for decades (private pilot, learned to fly airplanes when I was a kid - I own a Cessna now). Been flying drones for about 5 years now. As I have an actual crewed-aircraft pilots license (which I value), I try to follow all the rules, even...

Can you point me to any "Italian drone forums"?

Not to hijack your thread, but...I've been meaning to change my props for ages. I have 3 sets of MAS props plus one OEM set for my Mini 3 Pro on hand. I've also got a good screwdriver (the one that everyone here recommends) for changing the props. But...if things get stripped, I'll be grounded...

Driving to Canada for a quick purchase is much easier than popping over to Korea.

This is a clear and present danger, a threat to national security that must be addressed NOW. They're sending back data on the residue sucked up from every floor in America, straight to the COMMUNIST PARTY of China - all those cookie crumbs, the pet hair, and large amounts of dust particles...

They just need to nominate someone for a Nobel Peace Prize. that'll do the trick.

I rest my case. Laws, schmaws. Regulations? What regulations? None of that applies because he doesn't like them. Got it. Flying around in the dark at up to 9000' MSL, it's probably not going to collide with an airplane full of people. OK, great. Well, of all the options listed above, I...

Cool. If you don't mind my asking, I'd be interested in your experience (or lack thereof) in getting registered, etc., and how that went (or didn't). Also interested in what parts of the country you flew your drone in and how that went. PM welcomed if you would rather not share in the open...
