    Positive Drone News... Read all about it!!!

    A friend forwarded me a link in a local newspaper (Baltimore Sun) about drone use in real estate. Although not a surprise to most of us, it seems to be catching on as the new thing. A year ago I took my Pt107 certification just to allow my wife the option of aerial photographs as a part of her...

    Care Refresh new Mavic Pro owner here...

    I really don’t think it’s too much of a mistake. Yes of you crash your MP2, you send it in to DJI and get a replacement. If you loose it, you are ***ed out as you will not be able to submit claim for lost, drown or stolen drone. I opt out this time around. Figured if I crash and need anything...

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

    I understand the Police Can Force You to Use Your Fingerprint to Unlock Your Phone but where I am, Police always get a warrant.

    LEO needs a search warrant to access any device. That would include to download any information from any phone, computer, drone ect. At least any real PD would abide by this. Search warrants would have to be supported by probable cause that a crime has been or will be committed. Flying a drone...

    Found Drone w/ FAA Id# How do I find the owner?

    I always stick my phone number on my A/C. I had a fly away once and many months later when I least expected It, I got a phone call. A roofer comducting inspections on a building found it, called me and I got my drone back. I posted the whole ordeal on a post titled “Prodigle drone teturns.” So...

    FAA testing for drone hobbyists?

    I agree. I took the apt 107 not necessarily because I wanted to use my UAS for commercial reasons. The cost of that $150. I wonder what they are going to charge hobbyists. I can guarantee it will not be free.

    I made a mistake and got a citation. Do you have any advice on the severity of this ticket?

    [/LIST] So I’m confused! I’m no lawyer, but there is case law that protects citizens from recording law enforcement during the performance of their duties. It’s not illegal to do so with a phone or any recording device, but it is with a drone? I get all the suggested rules for hobbyist and...
