    RTH crash

    RTH is for when the drone has lost comms and/or you've lost visual, I wouldn't land with it unless in a clear open field.

    Flying from back garden and now have Drone Police on my back

    This isn't a post about privacy or trespass, he flew a 250g> in a built up area in the UK, he's in the wrong. Posting his evidence on Facebook would be self incriminating.

    Is it worth buying a new drone in the UK in 2022?

    Mini 2 recharging?

    High wattage chargers are useful if they are PD for laptops and the such or for charging multiple devices at once. 2amp charger is fine for Mini 2, it will only draw around 1250ma. I wish my MA2 charged the same.

    Spanish police blocking 2 drones near king Felipe VI

    How do you register with the EASA if you are not in a member state ? (UK) it seems impossible, it says to register with your member state. So they don't want anyone else flying in the EU? I'm registered with the CAA and I have an operator ID that seems to follow the EASA guide lines. I...

    Mavic 3 auto forced landed and lost my drone!

    Don't need to see the logs to know the OP is at fault, the drone behaved just like it should. DJI has it's flaws, but safety of others is paramount.

    Farmer shoots at my MA2 drone

    Having been clay pigeon shooting and won among a group of 20 for my first attempt. He would have shot it out of the sky had he wanted to. You sure it wasn't a gas scare crow? Usually used when new seeds have been sowed. Also 30m high above someone's property would be annoying as hell for them...

    What's the obsession with sub-250g drones?

    Great article, for the UK MOD to blamed for the 250g limit is funny too. Owning both the Mavic air 2 and mini 2 the 250g limit for registration should stay, I wouldn't want either falling on my head but if I had a choice it would be the mini 2. Remember the limit is based on chance for fatality...

    What's the obsession with sub-250g drones?

    Nothing to do with licensing in the UK, it's all about flying in built up areas, with my Mavic Air 2 I can't. I can only fly that out in the countryside.
