Welcome Capt. Pete. I'm from Old Lyme and live on the CT River just below Essex. This is eagle and osprey land along with the murmerating swallows and various hawks. The estuary provides quite a variety of conditions and activity. I noticed your estuary is Lake Pocotopaug. What have you been...

I fly a Mavic 3 Cine and a Mavic Mini 2. I'm from Old Lyme. How about you?

'help'. I'm lost somewhere on the members map and my rth isn't

Thanks for your speedy reply. I'm only stopped by statement #7, Access rights do not extend to: any form of motorised recreation or passage (except by people with a disability using a vehicle or vessel adapted for their use); A drone definitely has a motor and one a bit loud at that. I'll look...

Perhaps you can help me, Ladyc? We’re planning a road trip in Scotland next June for a fortnight. What areas have drone rules and which don’t? I fly a Mav3C which may require a license in which case I have a Mini2 but I’m hoping you have some pointers. Thanks in advance. Ted

I've flown in Cornwall Bridge along a small stream there. Look out for the trees.

Hello from the Nutmeg State, too. If the member map was only working.

You need documentation to prosecute the trespassers. Try a game cam near where they pass in/out and drone shots to document their activity. If they're duck hunting the typical range for a birdshot is 40 yds and 75 for buckshot. You won't get the detail you want and manage to stay out of range...

So you’d like to fly straight’like an airplane’? Who told you airplanes fly straight? I tried for 12 years as a commercial SMEL’s charter pilot and, even with a coupled autopilot, ‘straight’ was always a myth. Here’s all I was capable of; air is a ‘mass’ and temperature, wind and terrain rule...

Rwanda gov.rw Rwanda, officially the Republic of Rwanda, is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley of Central Africa, where the African Great Lakes region and Southeast Africa converge. Located a few degrees south of the Equator, Rwanda is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the...

Namibia, and basically any country in Africa with wildlife, seem to consider unlicensed drone owners to be poachers. That's that.

I do not think it involved GPS. Interference between the Remote Controller and the Drone usually results in the drone drifting or flying aimlessly or without guidance. GPS will not lock it in a 'hover' and, until RTH is established with the help of GPS, the drone just flies aimlessly. VLOS might...

Possibly a loss of signal from the RC coupled with RTH being set to 'hover'? The drone then 'drifted' in the wind?

I just ran into the same problem with 4k videos I'd taken on a photo safari. The files produced were so cumbersome for my old (Intel I7) PC to process I ended up with replacing my PC's mobo to an I9 processor, more RAM, and video card. I used Premier Pro until this roadblock was encountered. The...

flown with an Avata? I noticed you wore a headset.
