Not uncommon, happens to me but is very transient

That is what he is saying, used DJI may double in value.

Not worth the risk. The only thing you can't practice and have to get right the first time, every time.

What people forget is that Part 107 is the default. You have to have 107 to fly a drone UNLESS you claim the 44809 exemption and meet ALL the requirements for that flight.

Still muddy. "When flying recreationally, which rules are you going to comply with"...indicates you can choose which apply. If you choose 44809 .... meaning you can choose 107 ...you must abide by ALL of 44809. As a Part 107 holder, there would never be a "recreational" flight. If I were on...

The sheer number of people? Oh, so everyone does it...IT IS STILL ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!! Just because a ton of people drive drunk and don't crash or kill someone makes it ok???? what an illogical argument. BVLOS, you can't see that medical helo, or Cessna. THE FAA says you have to "See and Avoid"...

If you can see the a mini with your eyes and tell orientation, direction and the other FAA requirements that define VLOS at a 1000ft, you are an eagle. I can’t do that with my Mavic and Evos at 1200. That gray mini disappears, at my guess, around 500 feet. There is NO way anyone can maintain...

Fly BVLOS: A drone hit and damaged a Canadian firefighting tanker plane, a "Super Scooper," while it was fighting the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles in January 2025. The pilot, Peter Tripp Akemann, was later sentenced to two weeks in prison for recklessly operating the drone in a restricted...
