    Ipad6 for Fly app?

    I really appreciate the real world experiences that you provided. This 6 has the correct specs, but then so did the Android ones I tried. That is a real good idea to load and try the app since it is an individual that has this Ipad except that I don't have a cable. They are asking $180 for the...

    Ipad6 for Fly app?

    After having tried several Android tablets that met the specs but wouldn't load the Fly app, I am surrendering and going for an Apple device. I have found a used Ipad6 32GB that appears to meet all the necessary specs but it is not on the 'official' DJI list. So, all you experts.........will...

    Had my first crazy neighbor experience...

    Well then kind sir, how would you suggest dealing with a confrontational bully threatening you? Running away and hiding doesn't always work. It can, in fact, embolden the bully.

    Had my first crazy neighbor experience...

    Everyone has a different personality and will respond to confrontation in their own way. My personal experience is that if a person is of the mind to confront someone else on an issue, it will be quite difficult to 'talk' them down. Not impossible, but not likely. Often, the only real response...

    Georgia man accused of shooting, damaging workers' $15K drone

    That could play out differently. But that is not what happened in this case. How many 'what if' scenarios outside of what actually took place do you want to discuss here?

    Not Just The FAA Anymore

    I sold boats for many years and this reminds me of that situation. Too many new boat owners do not have a clue as to when, when not, where, where not, how fast , how slow, etc, etc. But unless they screw up really bad, no harm, no foul. Maybe the drone hobby will be the same way. And then again...

    Charging adapter?

    All the plugging and unplugging that those tiny little sockets get concerns me. I have had phones in the past that had trouble with those. But this is the first post I have seen that touches on it. How much of a concern is the durability of the the sockets?

    Georgia man accused of shooting, damaging workers' $15K drone

    Just one more opinion here which may not be popular. It is NOT okay to shoot at a drone. It should be taken seriously by the authorities and penalties should apply. But not the same as a manned aircraft. There is quite a difference between damage to personal property and attempts to physically...

    My first Mavic Mini Fly

    Mentioning that 2.2 miles is possible with the MM to someone surrounded by tall trees may not be advisable. I have a similar situation with tall trees and can start loosing signal at 1,200'. It would seem prudent to err on the conservative side until some experience were gained in that...

    Part time lurker, first time poster

    New Mini owner here. Just had it a few days. So far I have flown it every day and learn something new every time. Youtube and this forum has really helped me a lot. In fact, I could not have done it without all the good info I was able to find. Thank you! And, so far, so good. No...
