thanks again. waiting for the new top from dji new york, and the foil and tape from amazon. I hope my next post here will be a successful flight report.

@Cafguy: clarification about "leave the side of the tape that will touch the thick plastic alone ( don't put adhesive on it." Please clarify that the "thick plastic block is on the lower half of the body. Did you remove ALL the black tape? Or did you remove only the portion of black on the...

Gadget and singer: looks like I forgot how to use this board too . . . deep sigh . . . getting old is for the birds. regret I DID register my mini2 with the FAA back in 2021. THought it was the right thing to do at the time. Sounds like I made an irreversible mistake. So.... do you agree I...
