    WHAT book?

    It's anything reference you can round up. You're on your own taking the test and can refer to any publications, books, or online resources. You're required to score 100% correct on 45 questions, but there are opportunities to review and correct any wrong answers. The FAA Part 107 study guides...

    Flying in winter: things to watch out for?

    Consider putting the drone and controller into a one- or two-gallon zipper bag before bringing it inside. Leave it there until it warms to room temperature. The problem is the greater amount of water vapor in the warm inside air compared to the cold outdoor air. The bag blocks the water vapor...

    How do you ... in Davinci Resolve? NotebookLM!

    THANK YOU! Wow" Thanks for posting that wonderful idea and the details. I was unaware of NotebookLM, but I was painfully aware of my three big challenges in using Resolve: complexity, multiple ways to do things, and my difficulty remembering from session to session how to do something. This...

    "There is no DJI ban." Let's call it a restriction.

    No discussion is needed. If you're going to spread rumor and fear by claiming that confiscations have happened, just list a few cases where the US government has confiscated a popular consumer product. Drone confiscation is no more a threat than firearm confiscation.

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    Are you sure that's the verb you wanted? If so, they must have been very impressed with the video.

    "There is no DJI ban." Let's call it a restriction.

    Well, I am from the USA and I see no code or even a hint in that article and letter that causes me to be afraid. And it's absurd and condescending to say that anyone from another country is incapable of reading and understanding it. The letter you fear is from a "Red Scare" group (Select...

    Mavic 4 Pro, RC Pro2, Fly App Question on landing

    I agree that the VPS system "seeing" the fog or cloud was the issue. Here's an interesting question about that sort of situation. What happens if you hold the left stick full back and allow the drone to enter the landing mode and descend into the fog/cloud? I suspect that it would continue to...

    "There is no DJI ban." Let's call it a restriction.

    This has nothing to do with the President and I'm not posing an argument. I just object to spreading fear without cause. The suggestion that citizens should avoid expressing opinions and even avoid writing or calling their elected representatives out of fear of being punished is absurd, even...

    Pro DJI Mini 5 Pro When You Ignore the Power Lines

    Why not just change the global speed setting to a low value for the test run?

    Tariff charging is getting worse

    Well, then. May I suggest you put cats and dogs on your menu instead. The tariff guy says it's a common thing in Ohio.

    Buying new Neo2 in USA ideas/options

    DJI cannot conduct the audit. It must be done by one of several US government entities. But Congress assigned no responsibility, so no one seems to be doing it.

    Buying new Neo2 in USA ideas/options

    Have a look at the NeoPilots.com forum. There are number of folks there who feel confident enough to have bought Neo 2s, myself included. The December 23 deadline is not about agreement between DJI and the US government. Our Congress created a requirement that a security audit be done by that...

    Tariff charging is getting worse

    The problem is that the President stated plainly and repeatedly (and falsely) that other nations paid the tariffs and brags about the amount that has been collected from China.

    Mini 5 PRO for business?

    I don't see much utility associated with the Cine version, especially for the cost difference. Having a lot of on-board storage has little value in typical real estate photography.
