    I was arrested for flying a drone *updated with video*

    Screw that! Why do people think that the "drone community" needs to walk on egg shells and kiss *** just to enjoy a perfectly legal hobby? God forbid any of us try and defend ourselves incase it might leave a bad taste in someone's mouth. We have every right to challenge. None of this shouldn't...

    Now that I have actually used the air a little more... I am extremely disappointed.

    It's not just the flight distance that sets ocusync apart from WIFI. A radio signal is much stronger than wifi on any given day, any environment, and at any distance.

    Why is DJI acting like the drone police???

    I agree, and don’t claim to have a solution, but I have a hard time buying into this concept. Just like the so called drug “epidemic” for example, a very minute percentage of the country’s population are using/abusing drugs or engaging in other criminal activities, yet instead of punishing the...

    Why is DJI acting like the drone police???

    Though your comment has a simple solution, and I tend to agree to a point, it doesn’t however mean that folks that use DJI equipment have to like it. It also doesn’t make what DJI is doing right by any means.

    DJI releases new drone 'Tello'

    I know that you are just going by the misinformation being spread around forums and YouTube so this isn’t directed at you, but It’s not a DJI drone. A DJI flight controller was installed in it by the manufacturer. Nothing else. Anyone can buy a DJI component and put it in a DYI drone build...

    How many of you do compass calibration before take off?

    It seems no one does a preflight before launch. Should do a compass calibration before each flight in a new location.

    Anyone in the Lexington, Kentucky area?

    Registration is not required at the moment for hobby UAS flight since it was overturned by the court. However, if you plan to use your flights for profit then you will need to have a part 107 certificate from the FAA. You're always going to be within 5 miles of some sort of airfield or landing...
