    Places to fly in central Utah.

    Quite a few places along the Wasatch but not up by Kong’s peak, the snow kind of limits the options. There’s still plenty of places to fly for sure. But the snow does limit a lot too

    Places to fly in central Utah.

    Ya I’ve done a bunch of research trying to figure it out. There’s TONS of places to fly in Utah county. I’ve just already flown them a bunch haha. Just seeing if anyone has some hidden gem spots that they’re willing to share. I usually go down to Utah lake and fly and it always makes for a...

    The other day at work I showed up for my night shift, mine was evacuated and shut down. One of our pump trucks loaded with 43,000 lbs of explosives caught on fire. It was sitting on a loaded pattern with 250,000 lbs in the ground. Essentially a small nuke. There’s no way to fight that, a mile...

    Little edit!

    Alright I’m still a newbie, so I’ve decided to put together a little edit of some of the shots I’ve been able to get while practicing and trying to learn the Mavic 2 pro! Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

    Newbie from Utah

    Utah county! It was literally just me being a newbie, flew it earlier. Put it up a second time an hour later. Well a car was parked in the previously saved home point. Battery was dying, I panicked, didn’t think I had enough time to land in the street so I tried to land in front of the house...
