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

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'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...
