There is 1 simple fact that these fantasists are ignoring. It takes a lot more energy to move stuff in the air than along the ground or on water. It is very expensive and makes no sense. Why do you think 99% of Global cargo is carried by ship and not by aircraft?

Why would anyone think that Amazon are seriously considering using drones for delivery?

This. Return to home only has the accuracy of GPS, typically 5m. So unless you have a very big boat (a ship?) I would not rely on it to bring it all the way back. It will get you close but probably not good enough for landing on a small boat.

A lot of councils have come out with drone "policies". A lot are completely unenforceable and of pretty dubious regarding legality. Personally I go by the information from the Drone Assist app and use a bit of common sense. I regularly fly from National trust land, they also have a blanket...

Well they finally replied. Not that it was worth the wait. @The Editor You nailed it. "Thank you for your email. The drone regulations are covered by Articles 94 and 95 of the Air Navigation Order 2016 (as amended) They provide the law in relation to how and where a drone can be flown. Any...

I'm in NE England, the wind has not dropped below 20 kts for weeks now. That's at ground level and not allowing for gusts. Looking at the long range forecast there doesn't appear to be any let up, in fact it gets worse the end of this week! I got my MPP in January and at first had some really...

I use Windy. I work offshore and we also use it to compare with our custom, paid for, location forecasts. It's frequently better than the paid for ones.

Use the DJI Assistant PC program. DJI Assistant 2- DJI Download Center- DJI Connect the drone to the PC by USB and follow the instructions.

It's 22mph. However, always bear in mind that the wind speed at altitude can easily be a lot higher than at ground level. You get 2 levels of warnings, 1 will tell you to fly with caution and the next will tell you land immediately. From reading a lot of stuff on here, flying in too higher...

Post the flight logs, I'm sure some of the clever people on here could help. Flight log retrieval and analysis guide

Does anyone successfully fly from the deck of a steel ship or boat? Or does the steel just send the compass crazy? Surely if you calibrated at deck level then once you took off away from the magnetic field generated by the ship it would cause major issues? I know that they perform drone...

In the UK the Mavic Pro is no longer available, I got a MPP Fly More at a decent price so went for that. Didn't want to spend the extra on the MP2. The only real difference between the MP and MPP is different ESC's and props, which gives a tiny bit more flying time and reduced noise.

I use a wifi only Android tablet with my MPP. Away from home, I have used my mobile phone as a hotspot when I have needed to load Litchi missions I have created on my PC.
