Got it figured out. Found the right YouTube video with the part I was doing wrong. Thanks for the help though.

I haven't flown my mavic for over a year. The other day I decided I would. Mind you I stopped flying cause I moved within like 5 miles of a military airport runway and didn't want the hassle. I updated the software and firmware and I don't seem to be able to calibrate the imu or the compass. Any...

Sorry you feel the need to conform to all of the so called rules etc. If I spent as much time checking areas out as you have done and got the run around that you have received I would give up on trying to be legal and go fly my bird. I'm here in New York State and can fly all over with the...

I live in New York but very close to Ct border. I haven't heard of any laws that were past. My advice to you is go fly and enjoy yourself.

From everything you have said there would appear to be no logical reason why you should not fly. I would find out what the fines are if caught. I myself with what you have said would go for it and fly. I know I going out on a limb here but what the hay.

I think everyone is over reacting to all these reported violations of nfz's Are all these incidents confirmed or just propaganda. I think in the end drones won't be banned or outlawed. The benefits are to great. We may be required to get a license or register our drones. Relax everyone, take...

Why drive. Do they have a tower. If you contact them you can fly. You can even if they don't. You just need to keep the altitude below 400 ft. I myself since you stated you were about a mile from the runway would keep it lower say 200 ft. But that's up to you.

Peeping toms have been around for ever. They used to peer over fences or lurk in bushes or climb trees. So use high powered telescopes and do it from always off. Oh well. Lurkers been around for ever and will continue. Just leave the rest of us out of it. Banning drones won't stop it and that's...

This action by DJI could very well back fire on them and cause us the consumer to seek another manufacturer. I don't see how they could think they could limit the product after the sale of the product without hurting themselves. Fight back. Everyone should tell them if they proceed on their...

Now that the faa lost it authority over us will this mean towns and other authorities will think they are able to create more rules and regs. I think we may have been better off with the faa. Time will tell

I'm kind of split on this myself. At this point because of my ability and the aircraft I would have to lean on the side of safety and VLOS. The technology has gotten better and the range has gotten so much better and FPV has been introduced and is the way of the future. However. There are...

I know how you feel. I write like I talk. Most of the people I know swear like sailors. Its hard not to when your trying to make a point. I used to write a news letter for a biker club. Some of the women used to complain. I used to tell them that if they were offended not to read my articles or...

Plead the fifth. Be respectful and deny any knowledge of any violate. I've been able to beat 75 present of any violation just by be respectful and done try to argue your position with the authority. If they write you you do that with the judge.

Okay so it's not impossible. What about airports and such. Here in us it would seem we can fly within the 5 mile mark but need to notify the tower and remain below 400 feet agl Okay so it's limited but I believe reasonable. I think 400 ft agl is something I can live with. I live right on the...

Mine gets pretty hot too. Enough to make you wonder but from the posts so far sounds normal. Maybe we should all charge with an eye out ( attended ) you hear allot these days about batteries that catch fire ( cell phone, e cigs )
