    MA2+SC ... Where to find my RID ?

    The Smart Controller does not show the RID. I had to bind my MA2 to the original RC-N1 Controller and it showed me the ID #. I was hoping DJI would update the older SC to make it visible but haven't heard of any more updates coming for the SC. RC-N1 Controller 04.11.0200 Smart Controller...

In looking at my SC I could not see any ID info after the update. I then bound it to my original RC-N1 controller and updated it (its been in a box for a...

    What goes into a manned Pilot getting an instrument rating to fly? What do drones lack that prevents them from being instrument rated?

    There is no comparison in the two.. I have flown with my son many times at night and daytime under IFR and there is no way to get and use all the information and training needed to make a save IFR flight with a drone.. I have flown drones for 10 years and my son has a commercial pilots...

    What other hobbies do you have besides Drones?

    When I'm not watching the grandkids a couple days a week, feeding the Blue birds, or keeping the yard and house in order I revert to one of my favorite hobbies One that I get to drink all my mistakes. I'm a homebrewer. I'll usually make over 20 batches of beer a year (5 gallon batch). Every...

    Hear it straight from the FAA.

    Thanks for sharing. Lots of good information. I also have never heard about The Pixl Drone Show and I follow the Pilot Institute. I need to cut down on some of my other hobbies so I can spend more time here..

    Air 2 My entry in the 2022 Skypixel Aerial Video Contest! Have you entered?

    Beautifully done, and the music goes well with the video. Good luck in the contest I'm sure you'll do well. I wish I had your abilities of putting all those clips together. I need to move to Norway!

    I may of save myself a lot of money today!

    It's been too cold to fly the last couple of weeks so today was a lot nicer and I just went out in the yard to get the dust off and work the batteries down. I ended up hot rodding around the yard way too low for want I was doing and clipped a tree limb. The MA2 shook a little but never really...

    Do you control with your thumbs on top of the joysticks or pinch each stick with forefinger and thumb?

    I was taught the pinch method as it is more precise but I almost always use my thumbs

    feet

    Yes I have the mavic 2 in feet mode. But when I fly with the SC and retrieve my flight data it’s in metric. The issue is between the mavic and the SC. If I use the original controller and retrieve it ( through the iPhone) it’s in feet.

    feet

    DJI Smart Controller change meters to feet. I had my Mavic Air 2 set feet and it worked well but after getting a SC All my flight data is in metric. I can't find anywhere to change this. When I reuse my old controller and retrieve flight data is't in feet.
