At this time I have a Police report filed, and a ad in Craig's List lost and found. As I understand it the FAA registration and DJI registration is useless for this situation. I...

    New Mavic 2 Zoom Pilot "Almost"

Like you I don't have any real flying time on it yet (winter in Chicagoland). Might be able to fly in January when I visit my new...
