    Just Bought a Used Mavic Air

    Actually no, Most spaces on the internet are privately owned, and have no obligation to allow you to speak freely in their space. Freedom of speech doesn’t apply to privately owned/operated forums and the like. Just a little info, don’t care either way but what you said was factually incorrect...

    Just Bought a Used Mavic Air

    I think we are looking at our newest soon to be ex-member. Doesn’t seem to realize his “Freedom of speech” doesn’t apply to an online forum. People come here for information, not insults and childish behavior. Check the attitude at the door, or piss off and go to Facebook. :) There’s my $.02

    Mavic air any good?

    I just got one a few weeks ago, I got it for the portability, I can take it all my batteries my extended antenna and the controller and stuff it into a tiny backpack. I also wanted something that was a bit more difficult to crash if it came to that. Sometimes the crash avoidance makes it a royal...

    Flew 830 ft over water and lost signal! Help me figure it out please

    I had something similar happen as I was going around a water tower, as I got closer, saw all kinds of cell/radio antennas, said "oh ****" and yep, BOOM. No connection, signal lost. It came right back to me.

    Better app than Academy?

    Thats what I was thinking and maybe further limit the max alt, AND do tripod mode until she got the hang of it.

    Better app than Academy?

    I have something similar, just don't need it careening into TV/Ceiling fan/little sisters face....I saw some apps/games that were drone related, not DJI specific, just didn't know if anyone had any experience with them. Local Hobby Shop had a simulator running on a PC hooked to a $500+...

    Better app than Academy?

    Ok, so my daughter wants to try my Mavic (hell no) I was thinking of having her try the academy but its just a plain field and no obstacles or FPV. Can someone recommend an app/Game for her to try to get a feel for it?

    interference at low height

    I get inconsistencies even in me own neighborhood. Some days it’s fine, others I get interference warnings as soon as I take off. Who knows....

    interference at low height

    Something along the lines of a Raptor series Antenna/range booster. There’s a few companies out there that make them, I haven’t been doing this long and have only heard of the Raptor ST and XR. (I installed the XR last week) I took it out today, ran out of battery and had to RTH before I lost...
