    Whats with all the ads all of a sudden?

    I don't see any ads, Lol. I feel this place is worth supporting plus it's a fair price.

    I forgot Gimbal protective cover and turned on Mavic 2 Pro

    I did make this error a few times when I was new and didn't notice until I was in flight, Landed and removed cover. I have had more than 75 flights since without problems. You should be fine.

    Controlled Airspace Authorization Clarification

    I was approved for my "wide area" authorization today after just one day of applying. I was also given an extra year as I only asked for one year.

    Hello from Southwestern Arizona, I passed my FAA part 107 certification this morning.

    I wanted to thank all of you for your kind comments regarding my passing my 107. After working on a few jobs I'm starting to get my confidence level up. I am now happily employed with a larger contractor with lots of work. Now I just wonder what the future holds with the FAA NPRM.

    Cheap Strobe mod

    I use 4 firehouse ARC Strobes on my drones and the Lume Cube Anti Collision Strobe on top. I can see it very far away. I also have the Lume Cube Flood Lights I can point down on my Mavic 2 Pro and they can light up the ground from 70 feet up, But they would be too heavy for the Mini. :)

    Mavic mini’s filling up the flyaway topic page.

    Same here I joined and read a lot about my Mavic 2 Pro before flying for the first time. I also got a Tello to practice with at first.

    Flying near hospital with helipad - question

    I use the flightrader24 app to see the medivac Helli's from the hospital by me and it is very accurate. I always check it before every flight and have someone monitor it during the flight. It doesent catch all aircraft but it does see the medivac's.

    Can Local Police Ask To See Drone License

    When I took my 107 exam this month the test center said they have been getting LEO's taking the 107 test on a daily basis so it seems they may be having them get certified so they know the regulations. He mentioned this was a big increase.

    Achieving maximum distance

    Remember you need to be able to maintain VLOS visual line of sight. Without that it will also affect you signal distance.
