    Mavic Mini and Ipad Mini?

    After using an iPhone 6+ with my Mavic mini, I got a refurbished iPad mini 5 with WiFi so my old eyes could see the screen better. Works fine!

    Tablet with cell service or no cell service

    I got a refurbished iPad mini 5 with WiFi (and GPS) off Ebay for my Mavic Mini because my old eyes were having difficulty flying with an iPhone 6+. Works great.

    Wind tolerance does not mean immunity - my first close call.

    Heindrich, you must be living right!

    Hand left take-off with CSC

    I've never used the CSC, and I've only used hand launch and recoveries...I just use the icon on left side of screen for takeoffs and landings.

    DroneLink for MM changes everything

    Wow! I wonder if I could download the hobbyist version on my iPad mini 5 (64GB + Wi-Fi), as well as desktop PC? I would rather plan the mission on PC using mouse, then transfer the mission file to iPad for field use. How hard would that be for an old fart like me?

    Eric: I'm really interested in the recreational version of the dronelink app for MM. For the $20 version, can I download to iPad mini 5 (64GB + Wi-Fi) for aircraft control in the field, as well as download to desktop PC for mission planning with finer control using mouse? If so, how hard...

    Two questions regarding Mavic protection and landing pad

    At 70 years old, I can understand your reasoning, but after some hand launches/recoveries after purchase, I considered "unnecessary risks" to be placing the MM on the ground. As a guitarist, even at my age, I try to look out for my hands and fingers, but I can also proudly proclaim that my MM...

    Props Cut And Hurt... Right of Passage Or just Stupidity? LOL

    As a guitarist, I try to look out for my hands and fingers. My MM has never touched terra firma, and I don't use a pad...only my hand, and always from underneath, never from the top. I try to maintain sharp focus on task at hand while flying, but especially when launching and recovering! This...

    Lanyard? (Neck strap?) Suggestions?

    Here's the ultimate neck strap - something I used back in the 80's for RC - and it definitely helps hand launching and recovery.

    Inappropriate content?... Why is my post not showing?

    Yep! While still on active duty back in the day, I was invited over to a fellow Chief's house for dinner, prepared by his new wife from UK. After the meal, I was thanking them both for the hospitality, etc. and asked the wife to repeat something I didn't quite catch...insinuating that she...

    Close Encounter with Manned Aircraft - Flight Log Link

    Can't argue with the law of physics! What's more amazing is that Issac Newton figured all this out back in the 18th century.
