    Batteries on cross country airline flight

    I have made 2 trips from east coast to west coast in the last few months. Took my Air2S both times. Had my drone and batteries in my carryon bag with the contacts covered with plastic covers from Amazon. Didn't declare with TSA that I had anything special in the carryon bag but I did take the...

    Trouble with DJI boundaries in Dunedin, FL

    The causeway is a beautiful area. Have not flown there but been there many times as my wife used to live in Palm Harbor before we got married.

    AIR 2S help please

    I had 3 cups this morning. Guess I needed more, After updating, I just wanted to get the props turning since I was inside. Pushed up on the left stick and of course nothing. Took it outside with the same action in mind. Used auto takeoff and all actions responded. Tried takeoff manually again...

    AIR 2S help please

    Yes that was the problem but it was all me. Like I said it's been a while and I am half brain dead after lots of travel the last couple of days. I'm out of town and brought the drone with me just in case. Was notified of a new update on the DJI Fly app so I was updating the software and...

    dji fly new update app not installed

    With my Android it won't download from the play store app so I have to go to the DJI website to download the latest version then install. I always seem to forget when a new version is available :}

    AIR 2S help please

    So I haven't flown in a bit. Checked firmware and updated. There is a new DJI Fly app version so downloaded newest version but when I go to open the app it states there is an update available. My version on the app shows version 1.12.5. When I connect the drone and controller the drone does not...

    Packing a drone for Flying

    ^^This^^ Same thing I read before traveling. If the battery is installed in the drone then checked baggage is acceptable. BUT personally I would never do that as all of my batteries go with me as a carry on, including the one in the drone and the drone itself. Two reasons I do that. 1) If my...

    Packing a drone for Flying

    Late to the party but I just got back from a trip across the country. Flew Delta and Alaska. Had my drone in the DJI case with 4 batteries which had plastic covers over the metal connectors. They didn't give it a second thought. Only thing I had to do was take the drone out of the bag and put it...

    Has anyone ever flown a drone, above the trees, over the USA road known as the Tail of the Dragon?

    I agree. Lots of obstacles to watch out for on curvy roads but they sure are fun. I'm only about 30 minutes from some good roads in northern Georgia. Great for weekend riding out of traffic. Also I'm not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway which is also beautiful. Never ridden in your area but would...

    Has anyone ever flown a drone, above the trees, over the USA road known as the Tail of the Dragon?

    Many of the bikes that ride the Tail of the Dragon travel at over twice the posted speed limit. Death wish. Many have accidents or die there yearly. There are 318 curves in 11 miles on that stretch of road. Fun to ride but you have to be extremely careful and really pay attention. That's why...

    Has anyone ever flown a drone, above the trees, over the USA road known as the Tail of the Dragon?

    I agree. There are many idiots that travel on the TOTD. My Nephew and I rode it a couple of years ago. It was one of things I've always wanted to do. Glad I did it but honestly I have no desire to do it again. We got lucky as we rode it on Easter Sunday which was perfect because it was not...
