    Is it just me? Unlocking a restricted area...

    I am indeed at the edge of an authorization zone. I tried to walk across the street to get out of it, but to no avail. In contrast with the mounting frustration of yesterday, I unlocked with no trouble today.

    Is it just me? Unlocking a restricted area...

    I feel so inept. I repeatedly have trouble getting authorization. I try to fly, and am told I need to "Unlock." I hit the Unlock button and return to the fly icon. Trying to takeoff, I get the same message. Sometimes I do not have that problem Arghh. My plane is a Mini 2.

    Hi everyone, a new pilot from the Irish North-West

    Hello from Peaks Island, Maine, perhaps in a straight line across the Atlantic from you. I hope you get as much pleasure from your Mini 2 as Rhonda and I have gotten from ours.

    Total newbie here.

    Hello from Peaks Island, Maine. We have had our Mini 2 for a year now, but I still feel like a newby. I endorse the suggestion below that you work repeatedly with a few set commands. Even now, my effort to rotate clockwise results about 30% of the time in CCW motion. It is sometimes difficult...

    New mini Owner / Pilot Hopeful

    Welcome from the other corner of the US, where under sunny skies the temp is 14F and the snow is blowing and drifting. I flew my Mini2 a couple of days ago on a warmer day, but one with wind just below the maximum speed I'd want to fly in. In spite of buffeting, the Mini delivered crystal-clear...

    New mini Owner / Pilot Hopeful

    Welcome from a sort-of newbie at the other end of the US. Temp is 14F with blowing and drifting snow and sunny on Peaks Island. A couple of days ago, I fly high in a wind just below the max I would like to be in. The photos I took are crystal sharp. I am just realizing that the photo...

    Township violated Michigan couple's privacy by using drone, court says

    I agree that if it were a private person doing the flyover, it would not be a 4th Amendment violation.

    Township violated Michigan couple's privacy by using drone, court says

    I think that the Appellate court was right on, based on my law school education and my following of the caselaw over the past 40 years regarding Fourth Amendment violations.

    Thank you, slup. I did print the manual out while trying to figure out the "verification" process without success. I will, however, go back to it now to while away a gloomy afternoon.

    Newbie to flying

    Welcome from the coast of Maine and someone who is more of a newby (and probably older) than you.

    Bad timing. We just got our DJI Mini 2 a few days ago. While we were getting acquainted with it indoors we received the snow cover that will probably not leave for 6 weeks or so. During our first connection, we learned that we were in an Authorization Zone (just barely) associated with the...
