Hey boozehound. I use to live in Stony Point. Didn’t have a drone at the time. I think you will have amazing flying in the area!

More like a sling shot.

You shoot the dowel through the conduit, which was maybe 3feet long. You can aim with conduit.

Someone posted a nifty rig that consisted of a fishing reel, a length of conduit and rubber tube. You could shoot a piece of dowel (attached to the fishing line) through the conduit. Sounded like the aim could be pretty good. I’ve lost the post now. Maybe some could repost?

Sorry for your crash, but Lol, I like that you labeled that picture “AFTER”!

Thanks for your input msinger. In the seller’s posting he said: “there is some light wear on the blades just from folding them.” I think it is likely a dishonest statement so I don’t think I’ll trust him when he says “It’s been lightly used for videography and it has never been crashed”

Hi all Im looking at buying a used mavic pro. The owner says it has not been in any crashes or hard landings. He says the props are a little scratched up from normal use. I zoomed in on the props and can see, what looks to me, to be a lot of scratches on the tips. Attached is a picture. Does...

I’m not a hater, just disappointed at the number of places that are limited. Hey, you can find a billion places to fly drones.....but I may not be able to travel to those billions of places. I wanted to fly at my cottage that is hours away from any significant population, in a water access only...

There certainly are many places where it is illegal to fly. Also, there are many situations (ie, near/over people) where it is illegal to fly. For some people it a pricey investment. I got a MP+combo for Christmas from my wife (I’ve been itching to get one for years). But after researching...

Just curious, where is it being shipped from/to?

I’m not sure about the weather portion of the app but this is the first app I’ve come across that shows all the small airports as well as water based airports. For sure you need to review the defaults though.

Hey thanks. That is a good app. Shows the small aerodromes that other apps have not shown. Looking at the wide view of southern Ontario is rather depressing!

Here are the proposed new rules for Canada. They said these were expect to be in place in 2018 but I guess not yet. They do appear to be more reasonable and much more clear. Still a little ambiguous around requirements when flying for work (income) Proposed rules for drones in Canada - Transport...

Here is one near where I use to live: Queensville (Rollick Airpark) Aerodrome - Wikipedia
