    Flying in airspace/NFZ without permisson

    Hi Caleb, I mean no disrespect, but your question is a bit bothering. I appreciate the fact that you came onto the forum to ask first, but the sheer fact that you or anyone else would even let the idea pop into your mind is what is hurting the drone community. Even the smallest of the FPV drones...

    Do I really need ND filters ?

    ND filters are not an absolute must, but they sure help you adjust your camera settings to follow the rule of keeping your shutter speed twice the frame rate. ND filters with PL also greatly reduce glare from water, snow and shiny objects. It’s all about how much you want to improve the look of...

    Man arrested for flying drone over deadly Mansfield ATV crash

    Flying over the scene of emergency service workers and potentially interfering with possible incoming life Flight , yes he deserved punishment. We as the drone community need to stop doing things like this. When someone does, all of us get punished, by the FAA cracking down on the rules of all...

    How long until you were confident to fly further

    Dude, you will always be nervous which in a way is good. I’ve been flying for nearly 3 years and haven’t gone close to the limit of my drones capability. Have had complete signal loss 3 times now and thank god it did a RTH perfectly. You’ll have that 10-15 second chest pain until you hear it...

    How "enforced" are these regulations?

    Come to South Dakota or Wyoming. With the exception of the National Parks, there are so many places to legally fly and one of the reasons I don’t miss living back in your area. BTW, Beautiful scenery just outside the NE entrance of Yellowstone. Google Beartooth Pass

    Police came by my house

    A lot of good points. I could of handled a little more calmly, but I guess we are all guilty of bad days. You’re right, we need to help educate so it will help us all in the long run. I did have another occasion where someone came at me in a much calmer manner and I did exactly what you said...

    Now I've gone and done it (I need therapy)

    It’s like guns, you can never have to many. Many of us, (myself included) have that problem and if it’s new and can afford it, get it!

    Police came by my house

    It's sad because of all the ones doing wrong that makes the general public feel every drone is invading their privacy. A recent problem I had in a public park turned out having the person walking away. I was accused of invading their privacy. I handled kind of abruptly which was wrong because I...
