    Unnecessary mistake

    I had my Air "disappear" about five weeks in... that did my 62 year old heart no good. App crash on my tablet and no reconnect. Of course I was in VLOS so there was problem... I didn't have to wait for RTH to save my ***... and my nose is growing longer as I type....?

    If only....

    I have flown these (demo range only - not in anger). They are NOT cheap. They have their drawbacks and their uses. UK Army has been using them for about 5 years....

    What major things should I do or steer clear of either flying or buying for my MavicAir?

    Get a decent USB cable and use only the big USB port on the controller. Use a magnetic connector for the top one for charging.... Don't try and land it on a boat - even if the boat engine is off......

    SAD Having to sell my Mavic air

    Is that Manchester UK? Keep us posted. When you feel up to it I will drive up from South Coast and you can fly mine. Praying for you.

    The Air graduated to a full 45 degree Yaw.

    Yup - happened to me once - identical. Landed it, took off again. Never repeated....

    Suitable tablet

    My Tab s2 9.7" works fine with Go4 and Litchi.Suggest you use lower bigger USB and a decent Anker or equivalent cable.

    Litchi way points missions - How accurate is the time displayed in mission hub to actual flight?

    I ran an 8 minute Litchi mission in 9 mins 40 and then 20 minutes later same mission in 7 mins. Just a function of changeable Yorkshire (UK) coastal winds

    The CN Rail to Alaska Aquatrain take 2

    I wonder what the SOP is for total engine failure on the forward tug. That barge has massive momentum! I suppose the rear tug is tasked to change direction enough to miss the slowing or stationary front tug....

    Marital Troubles

    My wife is complaining that I am a messy ****** and that the drone is taking over the sitting room. Does anyone else have similar challenges?
