Nit sure if this is an appropriate question but here goes. Can I place the sd card on the rc2 controller or leave it on the mp4? I wonder in case I have a flyaway situation and can retrieve the sd card and recording.

I’d like to know height grid restrictions as well as LAANC clearance in restricted grids. Recreational “pilot” here with TRUST “license”.

As title suggests, which app(these or others) would be most helpful when planning and/or asking permission to fly and can help with height restrictions? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance. Im flying a mp4

Clarification…I dont yet have the plus batteries-so not RID broadcasting. I’m just curious if I buy the plus batteries can I switch back-and-forth and still be legal? apparently - from what I’m understanding once it’s registered and it’s RID compliant with the plus batteries apparently I should...

I did-thanks

Sometimes a long in-depth response with excellent detailed explanation/information is appreciated. This is exactly the expert advice I was seeking. I appreciate all responses to my questions and hope it helps enlighten others like me. Thank you so much!

I care bc I want to play by the rules and comply. I dont believe anyone has answered my question completely. The mini pro 4 is only RID compliant when using the extended batteries (as I understand it) with a firmware update. But I want to know if I switch back and forth to the regular...

Thank you. I guess I will have to buy a couple of extended batteries for use with the guards-then use the lighter batteries without the guards.
