If you could re-use emails it wouldn't be so painful. Make that a part of the primary key along with a unique user name. But who has 3-5 email accounts they use on a regular basis? Just an unintended negative consequence of decisions made during design. Especially in light of the fact that...

I'm assuming it's the same organization hosting and running all of these pilot forums? Probably in the same data center? Well that's to bad. :(

Do all of xPilots forums require different login ids? If so, was that design intentional? Why can't i login once and float around the forums? I'm a mavic, 3dr and yuneec pilot!

Very nice video, and gorgeous scenery. Great filming too!

Unless you feel like you really need the parameter adjusting buy a Pro. However, if you want to keep the portability of the Mavic airframe than wait and buy the Platinum (I think the wait is over). You're getting the latest technology improvements (however slight they may be), but likely...

There's been much discussion here and other forums about this very topic. We live in very 'we need to be protected society' now. Some call it a nanny state. May be, but we've lost the rationale and good, common sense thinking nowadays. We are in an over-reacting mode for sure. However, if...

Theo - Thanks for the reply. This is making more sense now. BTW, I've got a New York Sectional map coming. I've been introduced to them while studying for the Part 107 Certification. Now I just need to learn to read them! :) I have also contacted the tower manager at KDXR and we've...

This is my Fly for Fun airmap. This is the map for Part 107 (you have to select Part 107 from the menu - What's Your Mission) So, does the large circle around the Danbury airport constitute airspace, or airport extents when viewing the Part 107 link?

Theo - I read something in another thread tonight that has me a bit more confused on this Part 107, or at least I need more clarification on. :) So, I though I would go back and re-read your posts from couple weeks ago. Sorry if I'm being dense about this, but I don't think I'm fully...

Hey Mike, For now I'd prefer to stay outside the 5 mile radius of the airport, I'm going to go for Part 107 Certification soon to give me a lot more freedom around town. And the heliports around here are another matter altogether! Ruck

The sun glare on very phone and tablet I own has been horrific! This is easily one of the single most frustrating issues of flying on a clear, bright day. I have invested in more shade hoods than I know. I have tried 5" phones, 7 and 10" tablets. Nothing works. I've even done research on...

I work at an aerospace firm. Sign in front says, 'Private Property - to include Airspace'. Somethings are off limits. It's not a Federal facility though.

Is Litchi any better with ads? I've got it on my phone but have not used it yet.

I can hope, but I'm not that good with taking videos yet. What part of the country? NE too? Rick

Theo, Thanks for this information. Having the Part 107 will just make it easier to 'go fly'! I have no intentions of even coming close to the airspace extents, but with all the 'restricted' circles showing up in AirMap - at least where I live - I was really getting frustrated about this hobby...
