What will you do with your Drone built by DJI in America anyway...Unless you have a 107 and can get the permits, The skies for recreational pilots are gonna start shrinking more and more you can bet on that! As drones from Amazon and Walmart zoom...
YEP!!!! probably gonna be your best way unless you find someone with a drone and hook and they are willing to risk getting stuck too. Bakersfield is kinda a ways for a quik drone retrieval
