Have not flown in a airport zone for about a year. Having problems getting approval number to my cell phone. 1st I had to reload the updated GeoFenceing Zone then each time I send it my phone number it times out. 3rd time it finally sent me a "code" number to the phone but it was obviously for...

Also noted in the article I read is the description of 6' wingspan. That's no cheap drone.

I'm not up on current rules for powered flight as I have not utilized my pilots IFR license in about 30 years, BUT unless there were houses, buildings or people on the ground below, a pilot of a small aircraft can fly almost down to the surface of the earth. They do it all the time with aerial...

I am sure that these stupid drone operators that have interfered with the aerial operations in California are not members of this Blog. But one has to wonder how would our small private drones operate in the downdraft of a chopper.

And while looking around on Amazon for a landing mat consider ordering some "outdoor picnic tablecloth weights." The drone pad I got and others come with small metal or plastic "stakes." Sometimes the dirt in the grass is way too hard to push into. So I bought some attractive "stone" weights...

Didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest. Merely now that I'm considering getting a 107 license, "technically" would I be allowed to sell photos pre-107? I'm not contemplating getting a 107 merely to be able to sell photos in the future but as I began to plan about it my mind wondered about the...

I doubt the tanker crew even saw the drone unless someone was outside and "maybe" heard it sound. The probably thought it was a bird flying by. And having been around petroleum for my life everything was electrically safe. I also agree that the chance of a Mavic doing any damage smashing into...

There's more to the story from prior to the story at the start of this thread. He's been making bombs and setting them off for some time now and this is only the icing on the cake. https://www.wfmz.com/news/lehigh-valley/police-search-bangor-business-washington-township-home/1084418790

Not sure but once I update the firmware on the Mavic2 PRO and the Smartcontroller will that update the batteries each time I charge them. If not how do I update the battery firmware?

Udemy maybe is not bad but they don't reply to a potential customer who sends them a message with an attachment showing them the mistake on their own web page about pricing. BAIT & SWITCH I call it. One price on the "''cmon in page" and then another price when it hits the shopping basket. And...

Nice video.

Udemy.com Sounded good. Went onto their webpage and looked at a few courses. Did the sample video. Both courses showed $10.44 each. Added both to shopping cart and when I set up my account and was ready to pay they had jumped up to $38.98 total and they were no longer $10.44 each. Deleted both...

Thank you.
