Oregon now has drone registration. It costs 25 dollars... State of Oregon: Department of Aviation

I've flown in 20+ winds with 28-30mph gusts with no problem but I would turn off obstacle avoidance the extra speed helps with wind.

I've charged mine 72 times and keep them at 40% storage and the life of the battery is still good.

Anyone know if this pano mode will actually stitch the images together or will we need to find a different app.

I just look at the weather channel website, never been let down. I don't bother with that stupid UAV forecast app.

Shooting a drone would get you in deep trouble especially in a populated area. With all the shootings happening lately reports of gun fire at a resort would land you in the deepest of deep crap..

Yes it's possible I've done it a lot of times.

Truth and I can imagine these transponders wouldn't be cheap. So what about all the toy drones out there..

I'm not for registration but at least I try to fly as far away from airports as possible, my mother and law said she seen drones flying over her house and she lives less than 2 miles from a highly active regional airport.. that kind of behavior will get us much more than registration..

I highly doubt those little drones could do anything, if I know anything about drones its wind is the enemy and those little drones I doubt could fight any significant wind. Yes the U.S deployed drones before similar to the video but I don't think they were the size of micro drones.

Mine has been pretty reliable, I never fear flying it any distance. I've learned to trust it. I've had mine since February.

Do you propose people take a test too? Because cars and drones are not the same thing..

I usually get 15-18 minutes mostly because I come home around 40% I keep my batteries at that state for storage as well.

Whats wrong with registration? Its basically a money grab, as seen by the one drone strike on a helicopter, the drone was in pieces and they only found a small piece of the drone I believe, if the drone does actually blow into pieces when its hit by an aircraft then what makes you think they'll...

There is no reason not to fly in the winter. I flew in South Dakota's winter and it gets COLD here..
