    AIR SCARE Notorious ‘drone-modding’ gangsters giving away hacked apps that let drones fly over ANY airport.

    wait! I get permission to fly in "no fly" areas from LAANC frequently. I live and work frequently within the five mile radius of a a Class D airport.

    I’m so sick of these PROHIBITED signs everywhere I go in Los Angeles

    Regulations are indeed posted, but enforcing them costs the city money, and some one has to call attention to violations before enforcement efforts might even start. Two reasons you might fly uninterrupted. And a drone is certainly not a model airplane.

    MavMount 3.0 (anyone purchase this version or something similar?)

    I have bought four mounts, and this is the best of them. I frequently use the double level Hoodman sunshade, and this will hold things almost perfectly steady.

    Thanks. What a bookkeeping process! Hope your weather stays sunny.

    Do the empty container ships get filled up before they leave the port?

    Never flown + 5 week road trip, need advice (lots of it)

    When the display on the Ipad or phone disappears for no reason, the kids can ask for help. The first time it happens to you, and you are not sure of the orientation of the bird, and you are not really clear about reading distance and height from the controller, and the low battery level alarm...

    Dear Chaos, I think your chances of finding chaos are very high. Taking a very complex machine into a new environment without hours of practice is very high risk. Were I a betting man, I would wager that you will come home from your trip without the drone.

    Besides work, it looks like rainy days can also keep you grounded. I looked up the fair city, and there were comments that it is Canada's wettest city, or putting a positive spin on it, Canada's Rainbow City! And what an "interesting" history!

    Are there strong tides or currents that make so many tugs necessary? Love the opening and the switch to high speed.

    Thank you. That clears it up for me.

    That sounds likely. So I need to get in the bow tie and try.
