thanks. I did fly the mini 3 with the built in screen and I agree, it's much simpler. I returned the mini yesterday and when I get the refund I will get the mini 3 pro.

They let me return it, even sending me UPS return shipping label. Nice! Once I get the refund I'll order the pro model. Any tips on getting a refurb to save a little. And is it worth it not to get a new one?

looks like I got the mini 3 by mistake, not the pro. I wonder if they will let me swap it?

Just got a new Mavic Mini 3 pro. It flys fine but I can't access the active track. Some things that appear on the videos, such as bypass on the safety screen don't appear on my screen. There must be something I'm missing but I can't find it in the manual. It only describes the function but...

I wonder if some of this is "false flag" attempts to get drones banned by raising a ruckus and causing legislation to ban drones.

You must be heading 310 with the wind behind you, getting ready to make a left turn to 130 to land. This means you are to the right of the runway, about mid-field, and your left 180 turn will put you on final for RW 130. You seem to have it figured out. I don't understand your problem.

Is it hard to pass the 107 exam without paying pilot institute (or someone else) a fee?

my son flew his mini2 up to 14000 feet, starting at 12000 feet. Not the same as starting at sea level, I know, but impressive altitude performance.

I notice a slight roughness at the bottom of the blade tips. I used some very fine wet and dry sandpaper to very lightly smooth them and have flown hours with them with no problems.

The DJI bag my mini 2 came in does the trick. Holds everything except the mini 5. Check with DJI for a bag.

thanks, I always wondered what that meant.

Get a bow and use arrow for bird hunting that have big wire loops and shot it down. Should be an easy shot, even for a beginner.
