You need to get in touch with your credit card company ASAP - you usually have 90 days from date of purchase to file a dispute... more if you used an AMEX. DO NOT communicate with the seller anymore.. . they will just make promises to get beyond the 90 day chargeback period. Just deal with your...

I've found the iPad mini to be a nice compromise between a phone and a full-size tablet. I also picked up a cheap refurbed i-pad pro 12.9' which is simply an amazing way to fly, but it's pretty bulky so it's not easy to schlep in a small bag like you can with a mini.

Thanks for the review! Can I ask where you got it for $400? I'm seeing $499 everywhere. TIA

This guy got just over 10,000 feet range. Not too bad. May be worth getting just to have something outside the DJI universe. Price is good.

That would work perfectly! :) . But there's no such thing. :(

I'd ask for definition of the "surrounding waters".

I'm guessing the F450 doesn't have the Visual Positioning System the P4 has. It basically takes a picture of the ground (or floor for indoors) and then uses that to steady the quad. It's pretty cheap - my $60 Parrot Mambo has one and it works really well. That being said, It is good to learn...

What do you mean by this?

And who made you Judge Judy and executioner?

That's not what I wrote at all. The posted at FAA advisory that said local authorities can determine the take-off/landing sites for drones (or any other aircraft) Not sure where you're getting the airport design stuff from. In a nutshell, if your HOA says you can't take off and land from your...

That light placement is great for warning other AC or seeing it yourself on RTH. But when you're flying away from home, that light won't help a bit (unless you fly backwards). If you put it on the very back (back-back, not top/back - just below the sensor) you'll be able to see it going away...

No I was talking to Cereal.

Need more info. What country are you in? If in the US, what state? (so I can look up the penalty). Also, recreational or 107? Would this be your third felony? Really need a COMPLETE picture of your situation to give you an accurate answer. Take the weekend to pull it all together and then update...

No it doesn't. In the case of dishes, the FAA passed a rule that included them in the OTARD rule. In the case of drones, the FAA specifically gave control over take-off and landing areas to local authorities. Press Release – FAA Statement–Federal vs. Local Drone Authority For Immediate...

Yeah that's more like it. The only light I have found to be visible beyond a mile in broad daylight is the spotlight on the Mavic 2 Enterprise. If it's aimed right, you can see that well over a mile in the mid-day sun., Looks like a bright flare when it's crossing the sky!
