    Flying in hot conditions

    When the weather is hot, make sure you remove any cover that might be on your phone. It help to keep your phone from overheating. I’m in Florida and I learned that from experience.

    How often do you update?

    I got my MA2 in September, updated at that time but haven’t updated since. It does all I want it to do, works perfectly, and no problems. I like consistency and no surprises. If any problem develops, I’ll update.

    Drone crashed into plane in Netherlands today

Scared the crap out of me! This was near the airport in PA where I was landing, so I was at about 1000 feet.

    State Farm Drone Insurance

    i just got State Farm coverage in FL for $79/year for full coverage, no deductable. The problem with DJI Care Refresh is that they ask if you want it when you're just connecting your drone to the phone, and newbies like me have no idea what it is or what it's asking for, and you just want to...

    Good point! I’ll remember RTH and trees don’t mix well!

    Newbie in Florida

    Hello All! My amazing wife got me the Mavic Air 2 this week for my birthday. What a surprise! I haven't flown a drone since my destruction (in a tree) of an old Parrot drone back in 2012. Technology sure has changed! So, now I just finished the FAA recreational registration and I'm reading and...
