On this occasion I had been flying it over the lake about 40 feet away from the lakeside where I had taken off and where I...

    Will you buy a Mini? What will you use it for?

    Being in Canada where there are virtually no restrictions for flying RC aircraft under 250g, I can see the attraction of the Mini, even for recreational pilots such as me who already have a M2P. Many areas where people live in Canada are within controlled airspace and aircraft > 250g are not...

    New Firmware for DJI Mavic 2 series ( Official M2P Firmware Update Thread )

    DIY landing/storage pad

    Thanks rduke. The interlocking panels were from my local Dollerama store (Montreal). Found them in the kids toy section - packet of 4 rubber play mats (cdn$4). I will include a pic of the package when I do the BoM next week.

    DIY landing/storage pad
