Hello, Welshman!

Wind chill applies to your exposed skin only for goodness sake!

BTW They say flying LARGE is easier than flying small. I agree. Here's one of the RC planes in my new hangar!

Welcome to "drone-dom's" best kept secret! All those wonderful drone images...commercially & professionally done-which means permit$ and approval$. I did the same thing-bought my Mavic and found that technically it's illegal to fly in my back yard due to the medical facilities with helipads...

Have you taken video in the automatic mode-the one programmed into the drone? My thought is that you've defeated the auto-focus feature when you shifted to manual mode. You would have to continually touch the screen to manually focus where you where looking at any given time. My best guess.

Hi, Matt! There are three authorized places in this part of Jeffco-Dakota Ridge Park ($10 permit required), just east of the high school, a smaller area near the Ball Fields at Wads & Hampden (another $10) and Chatfield RC Aerodrome (free but ask that you be a member of Academy of Model...

Sorry-not an urban legend. It happened testing laminated canopies at Goodyear "Aerospace" in Litchfield Park AZ. Not turkeys but frozen chickens were thawed, loaded into an air canon and fired at a canopy design under test for the US Govt. A new employee didn't follow test directions/test...

OK, I was more verbose in my search and came up with this, Watching Movies and Playing Games on the DJI Goggles However, I haven't been able to get my Vita to work with the goggles yet.

What game systems?

Is anyone using their goggles for other purposes? I really wanted to have them work for my Vita gaming system! But I haven't found the right settings if they do yet.

MM, if I come your way, will let you know here. Don't travel that way much unless I have to because of traffic and tolls. Might go up Guanella Pass one day-if the wx improves! Good flying!

MM, just to let you know that I did register also. Got the quadcopter labelled. I've also joined the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). I've visited the Chatfield Aerodrome (RC area). Super fun watching them fly and interacting with them as a visitor. Got a permit from Jeffco Parks for the...
