Well I guess I'm going to be the lone voice of dissension. I can't really comment on any of those issues EXCEPT for the poor signal/range. It DRASTICALLY reduced my range on my MA2, to the point where I'm considering going back. I agree with everything people say about the easy setup, etc...

Well arguably that's a LOT of the problem. I relate this to the driver's license system we have here. You get a different level of commercial drivers license based on the type of commercial driving you're going to do. For example I'm the lowest level of commercial driver, and i could be a...

You know I've kind of wondered about those tests with online schools myself. That is, are they trying to "scare you" into taking their courses. As I've said before, I'm the very definition of a recreational flyer no more than I fly and what limited area i fly in. But I thought, "Why not?"...

Amen!

THIS!

I was thinking that EXACT same thing as I read through this thread.

That's what I was afraid of. Congratulations by the way. :)

You brought up something I've been wondering about. I haven't taken the test, I haven't studied for it. But I have gone to a couple of different sights that purported to have sample tests, and I took them just to see how I would do. I have no idea if these "sample tests" were really...

LOL, that's kind of what I told some of the people who assured me I'm being reckless.

I said the same thing the other day. See here's my thing. IF it so "inherently dangerous" to fly BVLOS, then why does the government even allow these things to be sold? Had I found this forum BEFORE I got my drone, and dug into these issues like this, I would have never bought my drone. In...

Yeah this kind of describes me to a point, but it's largely because of where I fly (over my own rural property where there are no people and there are NO AIRCRAFT OF ANY kind flying 100-150 ft off ground.) Now that I understand the requirement and issues better, if I were flying somewhere else...

When I read the headline, I misread it, I thought it was a discussion of whether the VLOS rule is broken. LOL Here's the thing, after an argument on this board a few weeks ago, I did a lot of reading, trying to understand the VLOS. And from what I can tell, if you obey it to the STRICT...

Just got the lights a day or two ago, and with the lights attached, it would not go into my Pgytech bag, so I took them off. The mounts are made of rubber/plastic (someone mentioned 3D printed so that may be what it is). The mounts were easy to take on and off, however I'm concerned over time...

I can't speak to the rules in Australia or the UK, but in really digging into the VLOS rules here in the US, I'm convinced the TRUE purpose of the rule is to simply discourage people from flying at all. Because if you follow the rule to the LETTER OF THE LAW, I submit the vast majority of...

You've just given me an idea of something I need to do when adding lights, I need to add different colors to the rear of the drone because the way things are right now, just looking at my drone, I would have no clue about the orientation. About all I could do is go straight down. Which If I...
