Legally speaking, No. This was one of my first questions (not this one specifically) after I discovered all the rules and regs behind drone flight. Do folks do it? Yeah they do, but you put yourself and your friend's business at risk should the FAA decide to make an issue of it.

While Charlie Brown may have had to deal with the kite eating tree, I managed to find our town's drone eating tree. That is to say it was my own fault. I thought I was clear of the only tree of any significant height within a 50 yard radius, Alas it wasn't so. The aircraft was caught in one...

Doesn't really apply to me as I am out in the middle of nowhere. The closest tower to me is over 70 miles away, so I wouldn't have a tower to talk to even if I wanted to.

Being brand new to the sport, the thing about being in touch with the tower at all times threw me for a second, because I was looking at that thinking to myself, "Didn't I just read yesterday, where the only situation in which you would ever talk to ATC is during an emergency?" Isn't the press...

Honestly, I hope they crucify him. You have to be a special kind of stupid to mess with police and firefighters like that and think that it's ok.

Thanks for checking on that for me Vic it really did read a bit weird to me. Not to mention making very little sense especially here in what is arguably one of, if not the most conservative states in the nation with regard to personal freedoms. Not going to turn this into a political debate...

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2060S-Super/4029vs4049 This should give you the benchmark scores and I was wrong the 2070 does slightly outperform as far as gaming is concerned but only by 7%. The bad news is and keep in mind I only checked Amazon for this...

Ram and a new graphics card will definitely give you a boost. I would recommend the 2060S, its not much lower in spec from the 2070 and may even out perform it in some respects. I would have to go back and look at the spec sheets. If you are looking for a new system to build or even have...

First of all, thank you all for the very warm welcome. To answer your question Vic, no I am not a rated pilot. Just someone who spends far too much time in Microsoft Flight Sim and DCS World. Also, I did a fair bit of research before posting my question. So I pretty well knew the answer, but...

Not what I really wanted to hear, but I am not all that surprised either. Thank you for clarifying that for me

I just ordered a Mavic Mini 2 and I have a few questions, since this is my first drone. I of course want to stay legal in all respects to the point the even though the stock aircraft is under the weight limit, because I also ordered a strobe, landing legs and rotor guards, I registered the...
