    Catching the Mavic Air from a boat

    Catching it from the rear is easier then from the front. You don't set of the front sensors and you can avoid the bottom ones better. Just hold on once you have it.

    Anyone Been Struck By The Blades?

    I hope I never find out. I do hand landings all the time, I find them a lot easier when I grab the MPP from the rear.

    Who Regularly Checks NOTAMS?

    If you keep the thing below 200 ft and you keep it in LOS You should never have a problem besides a rouge bird. Any higher or out of your sight is reckless. These things are really just expensive flying cameras, Not aircraft that need all the rights of a manned flight. Jeez. Go take some...

    Watch out for other drones in the air

    I can't imagine what these drones will be doing In 10-15 years. Hopefully they will have most of the traffic avoidance problems resolved.

    Cold weather

    I'm a new owner and I'm thinking it's probably worse to run it In the extreme heat. I haven't had it up when it was over 50 degrees yet. I notice even in the 40s the fan comes on sometimes and the unit gets pretty warm and I'm guessing this thing is gonna get pretty hot in the summer. I...

    Sport mode is not my friend

    I have limited time in Sport mode. Scares me. The braking time is way long, I seem to almost mess up every time. Hope your drone doesn't cost to much. If it's to bad maybe keep it for spare parts and just get a new one.

    MA cloaking ability

    I put the white camo wrap on my mpp it looks awesome but it is tough to spot, I find flashing the front lights helps.

    Can a UAV bring down a plane?

    You guys are going deep.

    Can a UAV bring down a plane?

    It's not even a fair debate. You risk nothing but losing your equipment where as the pilot or student pilot can loose their life. Drones have no transponder so the pilot has no chance of any detection but visual. Good luck with that. I think all drones should have transponder that...

    Drone to drone

    Will do. We got side tracked yesterday and never got to try. We were gonna do litchi track from my buddy's MP to my MPP. I would think it might work. Lol. Hopefully we will get to try soon. What a blast flying with another mavic in the air. Lotta fun.

    Drone to drone

    We were going to try to track one mavic with another using litchi, but we never did get to try. Next time:)

    Flying in class C as a "hobbyist"

    Why would you ever want to be in class c or b. With no transponder it seems very dangerous to me. I'm glad drones were not so common when I owned my single engine prop. I can't imagine a drone to small plane impact. It would be like a missile hitting you. Seems risky.
