Received my Air 3 w/Flymore kit yesterday and connected the battery hub to this: https://a.co/d/5np8VPp I used a USB-C safety checker inline and saw that the hub actually drew 80W while sequentially charging. No complaints regarding time to charge; about 45-50 minutes per battery as they were...

The case is a Apache 2800 (Harbor Freight); it comes with pull-apart foam for an easy fit. https://www.harborfreight.com/2800-weatherproof-protective-case-medium-black-63926.html

Feelworld FW279 4K display; used on commercial drone project 1 time then stored. Comes with protective case with pull-apart foam, HDMI cable, hot shoe mount, mobile power cord and 4 batteries. 2 x NP550/570 2600mAH Li-ion 2 x NP960/979 8700mAH Li-ion Also includes Kastar dual charger base for...

Read The Flight Manual...

In looking at the specs the Mavic Mini battery is 7.2V @ 2400mAH...the Mini 2 is 7.7 V @ 2250mAH. The Mini 2 has higher-voltage motors....so it appears that Mavic Mini batteries can be used in the Mini 2, but at a lower performance level. The ‘standard’ Mavic mini battery weighs 100g; the Mini...

HMPate: Honestly if this is your first one, look at getting a Mavic Mini, or even a lightly-used Spark and learn to fly... Then move up to one of the more expensive ones... virtually all the experience you gain with a “trainer drone” will translate to a larger (and more expensive) platform.

It is important to note that some airports have traffic patterns dictated by obstructions/terrain: Example: this airport has left traffic for Rwy 30, right traffic for Rwy 12 due to rapidly rising terrain to the east (KLS altitude is 20’; rapidly rising terrain w/tower to the east to 1562’)...

IF that advisory was given by an air traffic controller to a manned aircraft in flight (let’s assume fixed-wing, not helicopter as they change directions really quick) the answer “Left” is correct as a controller knows from the radar track what your 12 o’clock would be.... If a controller could...

Ok...so let’s explore that... If the pilot is landing/departing Rwy 18, his pattern will be to the East of the airport; if landing/departing on Rwy 36, his pattern will be to the West of the airport. Here’s an example of a left-hand pattern: IF (let’s say) the pilot was departing Rwy 18 he...

Flying cat toy!!

FAA tests are all multiple-choice answers... Make several passes thru the questions: First pass - answer the questions you KNOW the answers to immediately; the correct answer will be obvious if you studied. Second pass - do the questions requiring calculations; watch out for questions posed...

How far away is the nearest airport...and is it EVB?? Your profile indicates you’re in New Smyrna Beach. If so, traffic pattern altitude for light aircraft is 788’ AGL...and they can be lower if on approach or departing a runway:

Possibly because the sidewalk may have enough rebar in it to distort the compass accuracy...

Only for the Enterprise; the base has 2 thumbscrews that secure it to threaded insets in the airframe; there is also a connector in the base that mates with one in the aircraft to pass power and the audio signal to the speaker. The speaker audio level and content (pre-recorded clips or ‘live...
