Good tips fr ! Thank you for taking the time to answer. I'm learning slowly and tips from experienced people are helping lots.

Ha, then it's not just Newby me?

Thanks for the comforting words Tarmac. I'm sure I'll feel much better in time and by taking baby-steps and not getting ahead of myself i'm getting better daily.

Update - after resetting the IMU last night I did a flight test this morning. There is no warning message of "Vision Sensors Blocked" and the sensors are working. I did three launches with no issues. Follow the subtle screen changes to the letter -...

Mike107 !! Lots of good information in your two bike posts! Thanks for that Mike. I'll have to re-read to digest all that. Your input is really appreciated! Regards, Mike T.

On my almost new Air 2 (3rd flight today) I'm getting a "Vision Sensors Blocked" error message. The drone flies ok but if I get it to hover and walk up to it, I don't get any beeping that I would expect if it was sensing me as an obstruction. I Googled the term and the first thing I found was...

Thanks for the tips Hands Down. I'll try to relax and pay more attention to the compass display next time I fly. I'm waiting for the day when I can go "Ahh no problem!" and trust its homing instincts.

A great idea. Can you give me a link to what you recommend?

I don't think much flying would get done if strict LOS was adhered to. Poster Chrislaf just said "the rules in Canada and most other places require that you keep your drone in VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) so that you can maintain situational awareness at all times and ensure the safety of your...

Yes I have the license. That was the easy part.

Today was my 2nd flight with the Air 2 inherited from my daughter who is too busy to fly it. To say I was a bag of nerves is an understatement. I've read the online manual three times, I've printed off a few pages, highlighted some critical stuff and practiced a few take-offs and landings in...

Thanks Len. From south Wales? Where abouts? A holiday I had in 1967 in Tenby is very dear to my heart. I'd give anything to repeat it.

Good info. Thanks Broadview.
