    Drone takes out cyclist during California race.

    Fine irresponsible. But funny as **** too. This "hobby" is in danger IMO...

    1st Time Drone Owners

    Practice drones are a waste of money outside of joystick familiarity. Meaning up/down, left/right, orientation, etc. BUT this is all easily learned by going up a safe altitude and practice with Mavic. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    Has anyone seen this idiot?

    That's just he keeps his "rooster" ring when not in use. Another name for rooster is a co*#. LOL - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    FAA grants Arlington Police Department permission to fly UAVs

    Yes I can, I can see it quite well actually. Secondly, sport mode I can hear it. Guess my senses are better than yours? Don't state facts that are opinions. I bet most hear can see their drone at 400ft. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    Aftermarket propellers

    I read one sellers say in smaller print in description "please allow 1-2 cm of variance"! WTF. No way would I mess with that over a a few bucks. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    FAA grants Arlington Police Department permission to fly UAVs

    Seeing as you can here them at 400, maybe they want to be able to go higher? Just a guess. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    Flyaway last night!

    This is going South fast... In OP defense DJI did admit was drone fault not operator according to post #43. Glad you got your drone back. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    Drone Only - US$899 - at DJI web store

    And with a remote costing $300, that would put at $1,200. Not counting the charger, etc. IMO $700-$800 seems more appropriate and palatable. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    When Rookie No More?

    Agree. And until you put yourself in that situation or happens unexpectedly you can never handle in a calm quick thoughtful manner. From a newb who has experienced all and am better for it. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    Wind Speed

    I have been in very strong winds. To the point where sport mode only has me doing 18mph. Mavic is impressive! Sport mode is amazing and will save your a$$ in heavy headwinds. - Sport Mode addict, ride the wind!

    When Rookie No More?

    Generically speaking when is one no longer a drone (quadcopter) rookie/newb? Disclaimer: generic because you have hours or lots of distance does not mean knowledge. With the above said what hours or distance flown moves you out of being a newb? I consider myself still a newb with currently 90...
