Since most drone laws in EU are pretty much the same as in Canada and USA, and although that there always will be some imbeciles who will challenge those laws, thus having law makers to reinforce and/or add new regulations, which makes it hard for all of us to enjoy our hobby or profession, it...

Good morning, the best thing for you to do, would be to call transport Canada, and they will explain to you in details what you have to do as a tourist in Canada if you want to use a UAV in our air space zones. TC: tel:1-866-995-9737. I would advise that you do so since if you fly anything over...

You have up to 60 shots per second when you video yourself, so use tripod in video mode, and then later extract the best shots from the video. Using an intelligent mode, or just hover in tripod mode, allows you to put your remote out of view. There are multiple apps on IOS and Android which do...

As long as the RTH point was set properly before flying away.

This is good news, it should be polished by the time it comes out to the public in the fall. This is not surprising though, since apple sells the M2P at the apple store.

I will assume that you are from the USA, within the American continent from which Canada is also part of, as of 1st June, you are no longer authorized to fly in Canada.

A bystander is someone of the general public, therefore if someone approach your position in a public area, you have to keep your drone at 100 feet from your position (chapter IX). You then have to advise the person about the regulation and ask them to back up so you can land at your position...

If I can make a suggestion, when you do your flight plan, check the wind direction, speed and gust at the the altitude you plan to fly. I use the UAV Forecast app, for that kind of information, if I see that there is winds higher than the recommended maximum in my drone manual, then I try to...

Although it is a requirement to mark your drone, it is also mandatory to carry your license and your registration paperwork on you, either on paper or electronically.

I’m not starting to argue with you on this as I have been working in electronics for more than 35 years, and yes I was there in the 70s. freezing batteries has been a discussion (any batteries for that matter) since, and no good has been coming out from any research, unless you work with...

Usually when I see a drone flying around, I observe, and when he/she lands I take their spot...joke, If I saw any irregularity, I go see them and tell them what they might have done wrong, or even congratulate them if their skills and knowledge seem up to date. Having said that, I’m not policing...

Although your story is kinda funny in its way, I appreciate that you shared it, because sometime young pilot, and I’m not talking about age, take it for granted that it is way more stable than RC helicopter or other old UAV, but they are fast, and trees run after them:)

That’s ideal, but there is also an app that keeps everything together in one place for Canadian and it is; Drone Pilot Canada by My Appatory ‎Drone Pilot Canada You can scan all your documents, it logs your maintenance and flights, keeps a copy of your manual, includes all checklists required...

I actually did the same thing, I put my registration number on the body, but I put my name and cell phone number inside the battery compartment.

Label maker on the main body is the way to go right now, until they actually come up with something else. Myself, I printed a couple of those and always keep them in my bag, just in case it flies away. I wish they were sending us a plastic license and stick for the drones, but the registration...
