    First timers how has your experience been so far?

    Oh... I have literally never clicked the menu button on the top right. Had no idea it had a Flight Records section!

    DJI Mavic 2 Pro ND Filters - Skyreat **GND Filters**

    Bollocks. I literally ordered the 6-piece set the other day. Would have definitely held off if I knew rotatable ones were coming soon, and also if I knew there were issues clearing the gimbal cover. Mine haven't even landed in the US yet. What's the process going to be for replacement?

    I don't think that's the case. That looks like a general marker to indicate where the citation was issued, similar to an officer using a mile marker. It does not insinuate that he was on park property when the citation was issued, as it doesn't insinuate that "gate 25" is park property. I...

    Thanks for the link. I get it now. I’m still getting used to the idea that drones are actually registered aircraft. I found this, which puts it very plainly: Press Release – FAA Statement–Federal vs. Local Drone Authority It sounds like the IPP could lead to states having some power to...

    Interesting. Is there precedent to support this or just the common understanding in the drone community? If someone’s fought it, then certainly there’s some sort of case law to support this idea? I was under the impression that FAA doesn’t get too involved below 500’, aside from ensuring the...

    I'm a little confused. Coming into hobby recently, I'm still figuring out the rules and regulations on flying. I know National Parks are prohibited. I also know that some states prohibit flying over State Parks. I looked up CA (since I was planning on flying there in November) and was under the...
