    What is “too windy” for you?

    I have flown quite consistently in 25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 with my Air 3 and while it is not fun it is quite doable. I always have an alternate downwind landing zone if for some reason I can’t get it back. One good hint is to fly into the wind whenever possible. That way you can...

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Depending on the flight situation I have used quite successfully my Honda EU2200. It handles everything I have and then some. I have found that even the Honda 1000 will do the trick. I have 4 extended cap batteries for my Air3 and have found that if I let the battery cool for 10 to 15 minutes...

    Air 3 obstacle avoidance showing Red

    I have my air three and every once in awhile while flying at altitudes from 2 to 4 hundred feet will show a red avoidance light on the display as well as the beep warning. Again I am in clear air nothing around. It doesn’t happen all the time, I have noticed it even in a stationary position...

    Master screw Mini 3 Pro stealth props.

    First I really like the sound, look and performance of the new stealth props. I did not use a decibel meter but I really did perceive that the pitch to be less noticeable and also that it appeared that they seamed to be quieter than the stock props. Well worth the price. Notice make sure you...

    MasterAirScrew for the Mini 3 Pro

    I have had them for about 5 days and as many flights. I only had my IPhone 13 to measure the Decibels. I flew at the stock props to take off level and then the new orange props. I did it also at 20 feet. Did the same test 15 minutes with the MS props and there was a 5 decibel average with...

    But it's too cold outside to enjoy flying my Drone…

    Guess I’m a whimp but really cold Missouri days I fly from inside my nice warm car whenever possible.

    Well, shoot.

    I add welcome to the club! Enjoy the privileges but also the responsibility that comes with the thin blue plastic card you earned.

    Threat of Rouge Drones Increases

    In the works. He seem to love buzzing the large foamies. We are going to send him up very slow. We have two mavic mini2 and my 2s. One of our guys likes to fly fpv and several old and abused racing drones. He is prepared to go kamikaze 😉

    Threat of Rouge Drones Increases

    We have a problem at our RC flying field. It has been in existence for over 25 years and was surrounded on four sides with farmer fields and the farmers have always been great with our occasional going carefully throug their fields to pick up dumb thumb mishaps. About two years ago the farmer...
