Good idea My Mini2 weighs 238 grams, (I checked)

This is correct. I have had an aircraft license over 25 yrs.

Careful, aircraft are not required to fly airways. Victor or Jet routes are relics from old VOR navigation and are mostly used by non GPS aircraft. Check your sectional chart to see if your town is colored yellow, if not, the one thousand rule does not apply to aircraft. In rural areas, some...

I’m certain most here already know this, but I didn’t see it referenced and thought I’d offer a refresher for those operating in the USA. Over cities and towns, the limit in 1000’ unless a landing area is nearby. In sparsely populated areas, the limit is 500 feet around persons or vehicles...

Adding equipment that puts you over 250g not only requires drone registration, but I believe under new rules would also make the drone subject to remote ID when it comes into effect. Avoiding registration and certification is becoming increasingly difficult and will likely get worse. FAA...

Unfortunately this seems to be the world we’ve allowed to exist these days. In so many industries the consumer has become a beta tester. Companies release unproven products to beat their competitors or save money. Then we’re all supposed to cheer as though they’ve done us a favor. There should...

Thanks again for all your relevant insights Zbip57 It would be nice to see this much attention to detail from DJI. My storage solution (post #28) that only allows the front legs to touch the case and floats the rest should be possible to achieve with a large number of cases by cutting the foam...

Glad it’s cleared up. Perhaps a warning could be added to a sticky thread.

Thanks again Zbip57 for your thorough and concise explanations. I was planning to upload hover test data, but my laptop unexpectedly crashed. Is there any way at all to do it from a mobile device?

Thanks Zbip57, I could not have said it better. Whenever I get a new toy or begin a new hobby, I try to join online forums to learn as much as possible. After joining this forum I read about this issue. Since I didn’t purchase the Fly More Combo, I would need a case. Armed with my discovery, I...

Top 17 Social Media Monitoring Vendors for Business SOP And like I said, I posted here to get hard numbers and warn others before negligence leads to tragedy. I do appreciate your input though.

I heard from one pilot that locktite should be applied each time propeller screws are threaded? Also the propeller mounts may not be designed for repeated screw threading and unthreading.

It’s great to know that you are capable of noticing small deviations in a tiny plastic propeller. This is marketed as an entry level drone and even if it was more advanced, I doubt the majority of pilots would notice a small bend. I have read threads on this board about uploading motor speed...

With all due respect, you really don’t think they monitor this site and social media for mention of their products? It’s all product research. Anyway, I plan to share what I’ve learned just in case. I sure hope no one gets injured from this or they will have a much bigger mess on their hands...

Not at this time, but I’d like to compel DJI to provide propeller covers for all Minis, not just Fly More. You have to read my attached post and photo. The “poll” function splits the question from my post, sorry. Yes, #1 refers to the holder included in Fly More and should be included as...
