Thanks for confirming I hadn’t lost my mind! My feeling so far was just forget it due to what the public might think.... I’ve only had one run in from a fellow while I was filming a sunset from the beach. He was saying you can’t fly over crowds, I just said I’m not I’m out over the ocean. He...

Not about how to or what should I do.... I have a question about if I’m legally allowed to. My Grandkids are involved in outdoor sports and I thought it would be cool to fly and get some video. The one in-particular is cross country racing, another would be cub scout functions. Now the better...

I use Samsung Tab A model sm-t387 from Verizon. Only use Go4. It was cheap through Verizon like maybe 50.00 new!

I just took mine to Saint Pete beach. I discharged the batteries and carried it on in my case. No questions asked except TSA agent asked what was in the case before it went through the scanner. I told him it was a drone, his response was oh just checking to make sure it wasn’t a firearm.... that...

Well if it did mine must’ve grown legs and ran away... thanks to amazon I have a couple on the way!

Well I did the update. Completed both the MA and the RC. I flew just a bit! It seems like it’s more responsive. I didn’t see any drift at all. The other thing is when I took off it went about 10 feet up and hovered, seems like it did that before. Landing was all manual. Which is what I think I’m...

I’ll try tomorrow to do it through the DJI Go4 then! It appears I’m missing an adapter to go from the cable that came with the Air to the bird itself... Thanks for the help!

So I’m missing an adapter???

alrighty then.... I tried to download the FE.0500 The issue is this.... I’ve got the assistant 2 but when I hook up to the computer I get a beep but nothing happens in the assisant. I’m logged in and all but I get nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Does the RC have to be linked in also...

Nope sun was blocked by the house. The deck is in the shade during the evening hours! The other thing is the sensors aren’t on top and that’s how it’s hit the house both times! It comes down to about 10 or so feet and hovers about where the “home spot” is and then turns almost vertical and flys...

I really was guessing on the number but I’ll keep this in mind next time I fly!

Nope not ignoring anything! AirBeetle posted yesterday evening and I read it last night before bed. And this is the first time I’ve been on today! I’ll try the firmware update as soon as I can...

Oh one more thing... there wasn’t anything in front of the aircraft or behind it. Except the house which was about 12’ back...

My next plan of attack was to recalibrate the compass... and then going to an open field to see what happens... any reason to recalibrate?

That’s a correct assumption! Generally when I take off it’s been off of my back deck which is a 16’x32’. I fly straight up for about 20’ then away. Total height was approximately 60’ or so that last time. So next time I’ll try 30’ or thereabouts and hover a few. We’ll see what happens I guess!
