So you have enough money to afford a boat but you need a payment plan to replace a drone? Offhand I'd say that a 30% discount is pretty darn generous of DJI considering your drone was lost due to pilot error. My advice would be to gratefully accept the 30% and learn how to fly on land before...

Except your iPhone isn't sending that data back to China so they can build a dossier on you and all your contacts.

Did you ever wonder why DJI Go 4 needs permission to access your camera, microphone, and contacts in order to fly your drone?

So I'm currently visiting relatives in Louisville, KY for Thanksgiving. They live in a beautifully wooded area so I brought my MPP with me. They are just barely within the Class D airspace around Bowman Field, so for the first time ever I signed up to get a LAANC authorization. I first checked...

I am cautiously optimistic about that. :D

The story was so good you needed to post it twice? o_O

Yes they can. My MPP currently has 3 silver and one gold. :D

A common noob mistake with Litchi is trying to use waypoint actions with a curved path. When the path is curved the waypoints are never actually reached and the actions don't trigger. Double-check your curved path setting and make sure it's disabled and see if that helps.

Welcome! If you're looking for a place to fly, check out the OC Great Park. Lots of wide open spaces and very few people. Thumbswayup
