    I think I might need to sell my Classic

    I simply LOVE my Classic (his name is Gus) but as a photographer, I'm finding that I want the reach of the optical zoom on The Pro. Sorry if this has already been discussed here, but what can I reasonably expect to get for the Classic, drone only? He's got about 150 hours on him. Thanks.

    Replace Props message on RC

    Thanks guys I swapped 'em out for new ones. Cheaper to replace the props then the whole bird. One of my mentors said they may have been bent slightly on packing up with the elastic restraint and that the computer could be detecting an imbalance. Better safe than sorry. Thanks again!

    Replace Props message on RC

    Hello brain trust. M3 Classic. I am getting a ‘replace props’ message on my RC, after a thorough inspection they appear to be fine, what’s this all about? Thx

    Mavic 3: How do I get Focus track...all updates completed.

    Hi guys. I am having a Focus track issue with my M3 Classic as well. In stills mode, it works about 20% of the time and when it works it works great! The rest of the time, I draw the green box and it doesn't 'take it'. I draw the green box and.....nothing. I never get the menu at the bottom for...

    I got questioned by a Real Pilot.

    Right? "Oh, you fly around nimbus clouds? That's great. I have to deal with Karen"

    I got questioned by a Real Pilot.

    I've been questioned by LE via Fusion Watch (Google that) and it took them all of 3 minutes from launch to detection to approach. They don't need Remote ID, they have something much more comprehensive. They were on me like white on friggin' rice, walked right up to me in a crowd. (no, I wasn't...

    I got questioned by a Real Pilot.

    I was legally flying in zero grid in Class B last night and a 'real pilot' (sort of) confronted me. Him: Hey, you realize this is Bravo right? (I was up shooting at this point) Me: I do, I'm working right now but I can chat in a minute when I land my aircraft Him: You're not allowed to fly in...

    Do you carry printed sectional charts with you when you fly?

    I just think they're cool, I'm a hiker and mountaineer so I love maps! This is my desktop from when I was studying for the 107 and it's a great conversation starter at work. One of my co workers saw it and after explaining what I was doing she goes "good lord, you guys are worse than the ham...

    What are your thoughts about "Air Sentinel", a new drone tracking app, and similar apps?

    Not to be coy or like I know secret stuff because I don't (I'm just a beginner) but my mission is irrelevant. Nobody cares what we are doing up there as long as we're playing by the rules, well maybe Karen does in which case if she calls LE you might want to have your documents at the ready just...

    What are your thoughts about "Air Sentinel", a new drone tracking app, and similar apps?

    I am a brand new 107 pilot who lives in Las Vegas so I don't know jack. Everyone everywhere is freaking out about RID but here we have something much more powerful and integrated that works swimmingly and has been active for several years now. It's called Fusion Watch, Google it. I've seen it...

    Detained by Police, Threatened with Arrest!

    LE aren't lawyers. They enforce the law as they perceive them in that moment. 99 out of 100 times it's how WE act in the first 15 seconds that determines THEIR actions. These are human beings too. Last night my interaction went something like this. LE pulls up with his lights on gets out of...

    Detained by Police, Threatened with Arrest!

    Definitely clickbait but the replies are priceless. Hello everyone, My name is Cameron and I live in Las Vegas and I am a recent PI 107 grad. I am a professional HDR photographer who’s spent the past 6 weeks since passing the test learning the rules about flying here and using Aloft on my laptop...
