    True. False. You're required to notify the tower and airport operator of your plan. Notice that is not asking permission. Notify them, stick to those parameters and don't give anyone any reason to invent ways to suggest you were operating unsafely and you're golden. My experience with...

    Mavic Pro: Aircraft disconnected

    Leagoo T10 here. After my first week I was ready to toss it and go back to IOS. Constant connection problems. And I mean constant. What solved it was tossing the crappy cable from DJI and using a quality replacement. 100% reliable since then.

    Uploading flight record to phantomhelp.com/LogViewer

    Sorry to revive this old thread, but... I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I can't find any of the Mavic flight record TXT files on my Android device. And it get's weirder. Stay with me, if you have the energy. I bought a P3P in 05/2016 and flew it exclusively with an IOS device...

    A terrific dedicated 10 core processor phone for flying the Mavic Pro - all for $134

    And then I dropped $25 on the Litchi app. BTW, long time Litchi on IOS user. Well, I was frustrated in the hour I tried to use it. So I returned it and got my refund. Two biggest problems? The camera view simply would not work on the app. Through an hour of screwing around and rebooting...

    A terrific dedicated 10 core processor phone for flying the Mavic Pro - all for $134

    A quick review after my first few flights with the T10 -- Awesome battery consumption. As I mentioned above, it charges slow as can be. But, after ~60 minutes of flying, the T10 had only drained from 100% charge to 72%. I'll take it. My iPhone 6S (airplane mode, background refresh off) would...

    A terrific dedicated 10 core processor phone for flying the Mavic Pro - all for $134

    Just got my T10. My first Android device, so I have that learning curve to get over. First impressions - awesome screen size and brightness; snappy performance; Go app seems to work flawlessly; sloooooow charging; lousy speaker but that’s ok, this is a dedicated device.

    Best place to fly LEGALLY near Yosemite

    Be careful throwing some of that snark around. Quite a bit of that green is actually administered by the USDA Forest Service, which has a pretty liberal policy regarding recreational drone use. NPS administered lands, whether they are a NP or otherwise, are strictly enforced. USDA/NFS lands...

    Incident with angry neighbor

    More or less. OK, that's it. I'm shutting this one down. Sorry I brought it up!

    Incident with angry neighbor

    Not sure if you're being snarky or not. In case you're not... I'm thinking my potty mouth is a bit less of a crime against humanity than her breaking the law and hitting me with her car. Her kid actually was in the car and heard her calling her husband crying ( mod removed) Conveniently...

    Incident with angry neighbor

    For what? Uh, arrest this lady because she threw out an f-bomb in front of my kids. Doesn't work that way. I got hit a few months ago by some idiot in a Escalade that had her nose up in her phone as she came up to a cross walk. I was running and she tapped me just hard enough that I fell...

    Got some skin !!

    I was just looking at this exact product. Trying to determine color. I know there are several threads re: the best color to deter birds. Has there ever been any consensus around here as to what color seems best?

    Gotten insurance with State Farm? If so please read!

    Uh, wut? Come on, do the math.

    State Farm Insurance Claim

    Right. It's simple. If you're a "strong" SF customer with solid history and a number of policies, filing a claim against your drone/PA policy is probably not going to do anything to you at all. If you're not a "strong" SF customer and, perhaps, only have the single drone/PA policy, then...

    State Farm Insurance Claim

    It depends. Policy rating is some pretty heavy lifting. If you're a one-off SF customer and file a clam then, sure, you're probably looking at a rate increase. If you're a long-term customer with a bunch of different policies, then a $1k'ish claim is probably not going to do anything. It...
