I totally missed all of that. I just assumed right away that the video was posted by someone other than the video creator and didn't bother to read the rest.Thanks!

I call BS. The last video defiantly shows a curve to the earth.. and as we all know... It's a risky flight and I wouldn't suggest doing something like that without having permission from the proper authorities. That being said, since it's already done, can we all just appreciate how awesome...

I use UAV forecaster just to see how the wind and chance of rain will be for the coming days. Even when not flying. Such a great, lightweight app. Before flying again, read up on what causes magnetic interference on takeoff, safe wind speeds, safe temperatures, where to fly and where not to...

He does have a selfish motivation: To prevent reckless drone flying in hopes that new laws aren't passed that will negatively affect himself. I'd message the person in private to just let them know that, when flying, you shouldn't do whatever he did. In a polite way. "Nice video. I loved it...

Everyone is currently offloading their MPs to buy the MP2. Now is a perfect time to buy. I've seen as low as $300 on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace/Craigslist.

I don't have much time to reply, so I cant read the other responses. However, I had this issue last update. I rolled back the DJI Go app (also on a Sprint S7). It worked great till the most recent firmware update on the drone. I then updated my Go app to th latest version and all the bugs seemed...

I have a Mavic and love it. I loved it so much that I have been trying to find a toy-grade drone for the boy to fly along with me. However, nothing I could find was decent. The closest was the Hubsan x4 Desire. This fell a bit short. I got lucky, I found a Parrot Bebop 2 for $100. Score! Of...

Yeah. The one I'll be flying around has a lower limit of 3000ft so I should be in the clear. I'll check out Foreflight too. Thank you all for the help! Cleared so much up.

I would have completely missed that disclaimer if I wasn't looking for it. Is it common practice to call that number before each flight, just in case?

Where exactly would TFRs be posted? I understand that charts take precedence over the Airmap app when it comes to where you can and cannot fly. However, would Airmap be a reliable source to view TFRs?

Yeah, that was my question. It seems that everything else is Class G where I'm at aside from the Class B above 3k ft. That Mode C is what was really throwing me off. I was mistaking it for Class C. I have an idea of where I would be ok to fly in my area from the chart. Airmap verified that for...

LAANC should be coming to my area very soon (probably before I get my certification). That would be a huge help. Downloading Airmap now to learn my way around it beforehand.

Thank you. That clears up a lot.

Awesome! I understand that Mode C has more to do with aircraft requiring a certain kind of transmitter. Something I assume a UAV pilot wouldn't be required to have.

Thanks! That actually helps a lot. I assume Mode C is still considered "controlled" then. Again, still learning and looking it over now. The area I'm looking at is around Boston (Logan Intl). These charts are out of control. The class B airspace around the airport is 70/30. So, as long as I stay...
