    Need a little help in slowing down turns, etc.

    Slow the yaw down first of all, and then find an open spot ( not your suspicious neighbors house) and practice orbits. Lots and lots of orbits. The key is muscle memory and that takes lots of slow practice. Your drone can do things the movies could only dream of just a few years ago.

    does the mavic air 2 work without cell service

    Occasionally you have to log into DJI I think I’ve had that problem when I hadn’t flown in a long time.

    Old Man Shoots at Drone

    I’m hoping to claim ownership of the air surrounding my property. I figure I should be able to retire on the fees collected. Oxygen ain’t cheap.

    Not enough gps lock, is it safe to fly ?

    I’ve learned the hard way. If you don’t have satellites stay on terra firma

    even if it picks up the satellites after take off it’s going to probably lose them again before landing just when you need them most.

    Small Drone Smashes into Super Scooper Aircraft over Palisades Fire.

    I apologize for being a doubter but: I’m sure they have an IA on staff for inspections. I’m not familiar with that wing but it looks like an intake of some kind by the way it’s painted. I would be willing to bet that drone in the bag didn’t hit an aircraft. I have no doubt that some yo-yo...

    Mavic Air control problem

    I’m sure you calibrated the sticks. I have found that if I vigorously rotate the controls prior to turning on the power that I don’t get the calibrate command. I’ve always had minor control glitches with my 1 eg.. the gimbal wheel yawing the drone… un commanded yaws .. etc. a couple of rapid...

    Show us your drone graphics!

    I don’t see much help from color in the sky but anything bright is going to be a huge plus if you ever have to do a ground search.

    Can you?? Fly to 5000 feet??

    I guess because I’ve been climbing to 5000 and beyond for sixty plus on practically a daily basis I’ve lost the enthusiasm.

    Can you?? Fly to 5000 feet??

    I would guess that there is no chance to be granted permission. I’m curious as to what information you would expect to gain. My air 2 flies fine at a density altitude of 5000 ft. That’s often the ground level altitude in the desert in the summer.

    Help with TFR

    Most of those fire TFRs are the moving type. In my experience, DJI’s airspace is larger than the actual TFR. You really have to give them a wide berth, and they last for days because of clean up.

    VLOS: Have we have always been conditioned to think one way?

    Seeing an image and then controlling it precisely around all its axis are two different things. It’s probably sometimes done

    Flying Backwards a Game Changer for Phantomrain

    I think they had two cameras on that drone. It’s not possible otherwise.
