You'll love CR and the fantastic people. Airport in Liberia was no problem. FYI I'm flying a Mini 2.

In short, yes. The guidelines he posted were the same as what the DGAC sent to me when I contacted Allen Viquez <[email protected]> to confirm that I would be flying within the regulations. They were very prompt and courteous and I only confirmed with them to make sure there had been no...

I'm not sure how easily I could actually take a call during flight, but the LAANC authorization does state this: "During UAS operations for on-site communication/recall, [PIC] shall be continuously available for direct contact at (phone #) by Air Traffic." Probably overthinking this... :)

Thanks! I did hear back from the DGAC and he provided the list of requirements for recreational flying.

Hi Humbear, I tried that email for Allen Viguez, but it gets rejected with [[email protected]] (550 - 550 <[email protected]> recipient rejected) for some reason. It appears that recreational flyers are subject to what you post above, but not 100% clear if those rules apply to foreigners per...

That's what I'm trying to get back to. The only thing I can think of is swapping out the props; it's been a few months since I've flown.

All good points. Biggest thing is that it's just different behavior. For example, before I would stand on my deck with the drone hovering out over the grass, probably 12' from the ground holding steady. Now, it will drift around about a foot in random directions. Ran it to 125' and can't...

Hey folks, did a search on issues with the FW update for the MM2, didn't see anything specific to what I'm experiencing. I did the update but now I'm noticing drift. Test flying right above my head (iPhone 10S controller) with full satellite coverage and no wind. Seems to randomly drift...

Tiny house camping!

Again, many thanks. Aloft it is, I'm very familiar with it.

Thanks for your quick reply! Guess that explains it. I haven't tried UASidekick, would you recommend that over Aloft?

Hi all, I've seen several posts about this but no resolution (that I can find). Airmap had been working fine, but now rejects upon submission. I live in Class B airspace with 400 ft. max. Tried this one requesting just 100'. Does it have something to do with "an inner ring"? Aloft works...

Glad to see some chatter about this. I was composing a new post but saw this one as soon as I typed TFR for the subject. I live under that broad TFR and had not seen it on Airmap/Kitty Hawk and have flown a Class B airport LAANC-approved flight since 1/10. I just happened to look at SkyVector...

I can fit pretty much everything the fly more kit came with (much like you have it) plus a filter case with no problem. I also keep some paperwork in the side pocket. Just recently go this to take on motorcycle/plane trips, also fits what I mention (Lykus Titan MM200).

I'll let the more knowledgeable folks weigh in here, but my guess is that you're denied because of the max altitude designation of 0 regardless of the fact that you're in your yard.
