    3 Golden Hour This Morning

    What a unique picture, perfect timing. I like how the sunrise illuminated all of the water towers and tall antenna masts. B-52D Blue Skys & Happy Contrails.

    Air 2s Ohio Deer Frolicking in First Snow

    Nice job capturing those cute Bambis. Very calculated on your part, you stayed far enough away so they didn’t get spooked. 👍 B52-D

    It’s Over.

    Hey Pittsburg, Most of us on the Forum feel your pain and emotions, having been there and done that. A lot of us use our drones for therapy to keep us moving forward. It can be an expensive hobby. My learning curve started over twenty years ago defying gravity with a 30 series Hirobo Shuttle gas...

    Gliding to Corsica

    This is an awesome feat by a glider, notwithstanding the fact that it was a powered glider. 〰️Blue Sky’s & Happy Contrails➰

    Survey. Check to see if your RID actually is transmitting. Install the Drone Scanner App, Fly your drone, then see if the App sees it. Thanks

    I’m flying the original Dji Mini with a Blue Mark Db-120 RID module. The Drone scanner shows limited information, Altitude AGL, attitude assending, decending, or grounded. Aircraft name, (personal name given by owner operator). Also a pictorial location on map. Distance away. At one time it...

    I don’t have the draft that you are looking for but the Department of Commerce has some guidance that you may be able to conform to your interest. NIST Special Publication 1082 U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology Office of Applied Economics Building and...

    Detained by Police, Threatened with Arrest!

    I think that this (clickbait or not) should serve as something we all can use to sharpen our communication response skills. We should have at least a mental checklist item to be prepared to be approached at any time by someone, with or without authority, who is not literate with the existing FAA...

    Mini 2 (taken down)

    I believe you are encroaching on the health and welfare of some beautiful animals on their turf. I’m sure you have heard the saying “deer in the headlights” look. They were obviously going to bolt and run as your drone was a threat to them. I’m sure you would have felt bad if they were injured...

    DJI Fly App - iPad MIni 4 - Screen Message!

    I was in your exact situation a few months ago with my Apple mini 4. My situation was that about the same time my iPhone 6 was needing to be upgraded, so I bought a iPhone 13 pro max which I use for my original Mavic Mini. Works well so far for these 76 YO eyes. Good luck with your choices...

    Pretty cool drone videos from 2023 Big Surf competition in Hawaii

    Excellent video, thanks for sharing. I’m sure that the salt water environment will take its toll on the drones just as it does on manned aircraft, exposure causing corrosion. The drone operators will have to revise their drone inspections and maintenance procedures accordingly. B52-D 〰️Blue...
