Well, I am on almost 5 acres here that backs up to several hundred acres of what is essentially uninhabited woodlands that I have a clear line of sight to where I am. In a nutshell, this was supposed to be a new hobby that I could enjoy without leaving the confines of my own home. A long...

What a roomful of paranoid nitwits... DJI is mentioned several times unfortunately.

Yeah, I know a local flyer who carries and he's been confronted by someone recently. I've actually let my PA LTCF lapse because frankly I just never leave the house except for work and since my job is in NJ, I can't carry there but I am probably going to renew it before years end and than get...

I've only been at this since May, starting with some super cheap amazon drones that lasted a few flights and than failed through no fault of my own, than moving onto Potensic Atom drones which aren't half bad and finally to an Air 3S and M4P. The Air 3S sealed the deal for me on this being a...

Don't get me started...

It's not silly at all. Both generate difficult to deal with waste. I'd rather have one nuclear plant generating an enormous amount of power than have wind farms scattered throughout the landscape. Whether on sea or on land, I find nothing attractive about them at all. It is what it is though...

Many people think those are a blight and eyesore on the landscape. I look at that forested area, than look at the windmills and think it looks horrible. Add in the fact that ( if my understanding is correct ), windmill blades have a limited lifespan and there are issues recycling them. No...

that discussion on closing down or limiting that corridor is already going on: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376042121000312 its a long, but interesting read and Amazon is in there advocating for rec airspace to be set at 0-200 feet among other things. I've certainly...

I've only been in this hobby since May, but I think the writing is on the wall one or another. Either the de facto ban on DJI will go into effect at the end of this year when no .gov agency steps up to perform that audit thats been called for, or there will be a ban ( at best severe...

This is all so unfortunate. Thankfully I picked up my Air 3S and M4P back in March without issue. The politics behind all of this is all so ridiculous and unfortunate. The tariffs are one thing, but I suspect the the claims of data concerns and forced labor concerns are pure B.S. and this is...

thanks...

I've already had that discussion with the Nockamixon State Park Manager. He was adamant that you could not take off outside the park and fly over, I basically said that I am pretty certain that the PADCNR nor the state of PA can control the airspace and that what the have in affect is what the...

I have an area near my house that I can walk through that is wooded, with a trail that is probably 5-6 feet wide, that narrows down to about 3-5 feet wide in spots where branches or shrubbery encroaches on the trail. Overhead, Id say on average the vertical clearance ranges from maybe 8 feet...

Hi All, New to the hobby but am now the owner of a DJI Air 3S and a mini 4k pro ( as well as some cheaper " introductory drones " ). Been through the TRUST certification and and of course have my AIR 3S registered with the FAA and am currently looking for places to fly near me (preferably...
