    "Well in theory, the max forward speed is 45mph in sport mode, so you should be able to make headway in anything less than that!"

    Caught and punished in Canada?

    Make sure you adjust the app parameters to match that which country you are in ( USA/ Canada ) . so for example in Ontario Canada if one looks up Transport Canada rules then make the necessary tweaks on the app to match some of the restrictions.. this way you are sure to be flying in a good to...

    New Canadian rules

    According to Transport Canada & MAAC if you are flying a remote control plane, helicopter or drone on a MAAC registered field and airspace you do not need to register or have a permit; as long as you have MAAC membership and flying on a MAAC registered field. Cheers

    Caught and punished in Canada?

    I use an app called UAV Forecast. It not only tells me of the current flying conditions weather wise , but also can display of u are near or in a no fly zone and gives a forecast of upcoming weather as well.. free for hobby use , pay if u have a drone related business.
