    FAA launches The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST)

    I took it over the weekend. Took no about 30 minutes, less if I hadn't been interrupted by my 'supervisor.'

    My first run in with the law over my drone :(

    If the police gave you a warning hopefully thats the end of it. I use B4UFLY. it shows restricted zones and gives me warning pop-ups and a map with the zones. I don't really trust DJI for this - I live near DC and have ZERO interest in ending up in a NFZ!

    Crashed My Bird - need a few pieces of advice

    A followup to my crash back in December. First off, a BIG thanks to those of you offered advice on how to take care of my bird after knocking it out of 60ft perch in a tree.

    I'm landlocked most of the time but I live near a series of small lakes. My first flights were and still are over water. In December I was on the left coast and few out over the ocean. in T mode. I had a scary moment when the wind starting pushing the bird out to sea! Turned out I had flown...

    Drones v Lightning or visa versa

    Insurance? Needed it not?

    I live in Maryland and just bought personal property coverage from State Farm. $60 is the minimum annual payment for coverage although the drone (fly more package) costs less. What I was advised is that I could add other pieces of equipment under the policy up the $60 coverage amount - e.g. my...

    I'm generally not a forum guy but this is amazing and I do appreciate it.

    I spend more time here than I ever have on any other forum (except maybe a mustang mods forum)

    I'm a Quadriplegic and here's my drone video
