    Altitude limit

    Welcome Roger, like so many have said, read the manual and watch a few videos. However, much more is learned about the attributes of a drone when flying it.

    Weak signal.

    Air Space restrictions changed

    Air Space restrictions changed

    When I got my MA last year I didn't have a problem flying it from my back yard. Then along came GEO fencing and I couldn't fly without getting a code or other bothersome rules. Now, for the past few months, things have changed and I can fly with only a check mark and hitting yes. Also, I have...

    It's a submarine

    Who would have thot, Buzz, my Mavic Air survived an 8 minute submersion in the American River in WA at Lodgepole campground. Pretty amazing. I'm not sure how I lost control but it was about 15 ' away over the river getting ready to take a picture when it decided to do a little brush cutting and...

    Ipad mini 4 for MA GB Question

    According to Apple, all mini 4's use an A8 chip. The latest os version is 12.0... It may be a version problem. My M4 just went thru an update to version 12 yesterday. The update made no difference, it ran well before.
