    Safety issues make me sad

    I just have one question. If it's as safe in your area of rural North Carolina as you say it is, and if your friends really did feel it was OK to take a week-long trip out of the USA without locking the doors of their home, why did they spend money to buy an alarm system that they don't arm...

    custom unlocking help

    Yes, I stumbled across that on my 3rd attempt to fly my drone at the site. Too bad that step about switching to an aircraft tab after you get the confirmation that the license has been imported to the aircraft wasn't mentioned by tech support, nor have I seen any reference to any of those steps...

    custom unlocking help

    Need to fly near an airport in an authorization zone. Can't seem to get drone to unlock. I'm flying an Air2S, using the Smart Controller. I don't have internet access out in the field, so I used Aloft from my office computer to get LAANC authorization, then went to the DJI Flysafe website to...
