I have a question. Can a local civil authority (police, sheriff) arrest you for flying in a controlled airspace. I understand if you are interfering with their direct efforts to control say a wildfire or crime scene. My question is can local authority arrest or fine you from flying in an area...

Me too!

I have a Neo, Mini 3 Pro, Air 2S and the Air 3 Really all have ther place and each perform exactly what I need. I do mostly roofs and land surveys and inspections. Not to mention my travels and visits to the Grandkids. I do suffer from drone envy though.

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...

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...

Two thumbs up!

Yay

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...

Hello and welcome from flyover country on steroids.

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

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