    Flying in Williamsburg, VA and surrounding areas

    The only flying that I did was inside the resort that I was staying because of high winds https://drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-virginia/

    For those interested in an SDK for the Mavic 3, you might like to participate in the following poll.

    The first ones I saw in the early 70's were called electronic slide rules, came with a belt pouch, and the Engineers waited several weeks to get one. Very basic, but could do square roots!

    Can you see the drone in this picture?

    Pilot error caused my drone to "nest" at about 45'. Thankfully a friend of a friend had a bucket truck and retrieved it for me. He is also a drone pilot and I was not his first retrieval but I am very grateful for his help and better educated on what not to do! This was my 3rd flight and I...

    New model mini 3 Folding Landing gear

    I have not purchased any due to MY confusion on what actually works with the current model Mavic Mini 3. Offerings such as this that state 2022 models make it appear that it will not fit my 2023 model. I am hoping that a owner of the current model can point me in the right direction. Landing...

    Greetings from Eastern North Carolina

    Thank you for the welcomes. I completed my TRUST card and Drone registration as soon as I had the S/N for the drone. How To videos were very helpful. Between working 5 1/2 days a week and going to class 2 nights my air time is limited, but I will make more flights as my trust in my own...

    Greetings from Eastern North Carolina

    After reading the manual and a lot of posts here I finally let my Mini 3 take flight. Nothing fancy, just s few short runs and letting it teach an old dog new tricks. I really enjoy reading the forums and thank everyone for their contributions. Are there any organized gatherings (fly-ins) in...

    Thank you for allowing me to take part here. I have already learned a lot from the forums. I just received my Mini 3 Pro and trying to get it in the air.
