I now use UAV forcast

When i get a wind warning, i immediately drop it below 100 ft, and head back manually. It usually warns that RTH is unavailabla. I also dont push it past VLOS. It's too small [MM] to risk it. Sometimes i also put it in sport mode if im able. Once i was >1600 ft away and it was touch n go til i...

Had a neighbor post on our neighborhood site she had seen a drone and worried about it seeing into her bedroom. So dumb to think a drone flying above 50 ft in the daytime could see into a window, much less have a zoom powerful enough to make out anything. IDK about other drones, mine's lens...

Why is flying one of those below 500 ft not a violation?

Had a P3std for a year. now I have a MM. Had fits getting it to connect the phone to the RC until I found out Android 10 on samsungs don't work. Now happily flying around on an old GS7 with Andr 9.

Whether or not the drone would warn me, I use the B4Ufly app which has the latest flight restrictions. I do live in a town with a regional airport and know, not only the restricted spaces, but the number/email or the air traffic controller. Several times I have flown inside the 5 mile limit...

I have a third party cable but the app keeps saying the drone isn't connected. I did a test flight with just the remote and it works. is that any quick solution to get connected? at this point, I'm considering sending it back.
