I have read the entire thread, with all of the detours taken by some to rail on about political topics well beyond the scope of the referenced article. As is our right, right? We are Americans in the land of the free, and we’d like to keep it that way. So, DHS says our drones are capable of...

Hi again. I have found that there are three groups on the Meetup app that claim to be for drones; however one of them, “Drinks and Drones”, has only met at pubs and talked drones—not exactly what I was looking for [emoji41]. Meetup is an app for like-minded people to form a group to pursue a...

Anybody get delivery yet? I’m antsy, waiting for mine.

Does dji have any more of those understanding wives in stock? Maybe one that will hold my aviator stick for me?

Sorry, emotional outburst switch is now off. [emoji41]

Oh, that we had a national drone flyer association or club. I’ve said it before (till I was blue in the face). An association with enuf dough to step in and help out in cases just like this, before we get hammered to the point we can’t fly anymore. Should have had a seat at the table as FAA...

Ageism huh? Maybe when I get as old as you I’ll be kind of prickly about stories of the aged running something as technological, and fun, as a dji drone—but I don’t think so. I thought it was a great display of honoring his elders, and showing a more widespread use of drones in a strata of...

February delivery

I did it. Counting it as a Christmas present to myself. After what I’ve spent with dji (which itself was a gamble) it strikes me as a good bet. Maybe I’ll be sorry, or maybe I’ll just be a confident flyer. Point is if it simplifies and increases M2P control I’ll enjoy the sport much more and...

Hi, I couldn't remember if you were ticketed based upon the location of you and/or your car, or based upon where the drone was flying. So here's from your original blurb: "Turns out the land on the other side of the freeway is a regional preserve and my drone flying over the space was...

@Norb_DAIS —same same for Montalvo case you cited. 9th Circuit said the question was whether the Fed Av Act. “ preempt state law standards of care, including any state-imposed duty to warn about the risks of deep vein thrombosis (“DVT”)”. This happened when airline passengers started suing...
