    If I am 16, am I allowed on the forms?

    What’s up Doc…. Sorry couldn’t help myself. Welcome to the forum. There are some incredibly knowledgeable pilots here that bring their experience to the group to help us figure things out. The only advice I have for you this early on, is be aware of your surroundings, start safe, fly safe, land...

    What do you think you are doing? This is a No-Drone Zone…

    I have flown recreationally for well over 3 years in the most public, albeit legal, places in Southern Idaho. I have never had anyone question the legality or motives of my activities with my drone(s). I fly many times around touristy parts of the awesome area where I live, and have only had...

    Is my HOA going to be a problem?

    I guess my question would be, do you really need to launch from your property? Maybe if it’s not an issue, don’t make it one. I don’t completely know the situation, but I guarantee you if it’s not a specific HOA rule today, it very well can be one tomorrow. As pilots, we need to fight the...

    Using your drone in public

    Let’s face it, I would think given all the bad press surrounding drone use, they may be considered an invasive species. There is an invasion of privacy stigma that has been brought on by 1. Pilots that push the limits and don’t use common sense about how and where to fly, and 2. A lack of...

    Ambient temp question.

    I am currently in a dialogue with the “GlueDot” corporation about the use of glue dots to secure ribbon cables found inside our drones after repairs have been made. Their question is “What is the average temperature of components inside a typical drone taking into account duration of flight...

    I’m sorry naysayers, but I found the the video amusing and the classical music made it even funnier. Lighten up people. His drone, his food, his imagination. Have a great day all.

    Micro ribbon adhesive

    Hi all, I recently opened my MP for the first time to replace the gimbal ribbon. This is my question, does anyone know the name of the rubber/plastic adhesive that DJI uses to keep the micro ribbon plugs attached to the component boards. I appreciate any help, thanks.

    fears of flying over water

    I live in Idaho a the deepest areas of the Snake River canyon, I trust my bird, and I trust myself. As we should all do with any launch, check & recheck. What else can you do. I fly my MP level with the ground, then right off the canyon rim right over the Snake to produce some of my best footage...

    New to drones intimidation!

    I’ve been flying for a while now, but I know if I was a new kid on the block, I would appreciate advice from people like you. It makes me feel good to see great people like you take the time to write a thoughtful reply to a new pilot. That’s part of why we’re here. Thanks O.M.M.

    Can I save my app settings

    Yup, that would be nice. I had everything just how I want it, but I guess I’ll have to reset it all over again. Cheers!
