    Suddenly dead smart controller. Won't even take a charge..

    Hi Garatshay...thanks for the heads-up. Do you perhaps have an alternate link to the video as this one does not work for me

    FAA "NO DRONES" Sign

    Easy Cockpit has a very detailed South African airspace database (EasyCockpit iOS (iPad/iPhone) • Aviation Direct) but is more geared towards general aviation and is subscription based...I tried the Garmin fly app, but not working well enough to justify a subscription...someone did a kml overlay...

    DJI Fly update
