    Seniors; What aides have you come up with to help you enjoy flying more?

    I am 69 and have a major problem with keeping my balance when switching from checking my controller to searching the sky for the drone. Also when I am twisting to see the drone, I can lose my balance. Since I am still spry enough to get up from a low chair (it may not be pretty to watch), I have...

    Your 911 memories? And mine...

    Yes for a while we, the U.S. had focus of the world upon us. We held the power to effect real change on the world. Instead the leadership of this country squandered the goodwill of the world. Yes I knew that when bin Laden was identified as the culprit, and that he was in Afghanistan that we...

    Sitting and flying

    I am 68 years old and now unsteady on my feet. Trying to turn or looking straight up at my drone has caused me to fall. Solution is a 360 degree chair made to go into a hunter blind. It sits low to the ground and spins easy.

    Tears falling from my eyeballs, A crack on the front leg

    .The first drone was a Phantom 3 A. The Radio Controller was trashed. The bird required the entire body shell and two motors. The motherboard was trashed and mismatched to the motors. And the camera was shot. Add in the hours of frustration finding parts and troubleshooting and maybe I...

    Tears falling from my eyeballs, A crack on the front leg

    I have found a serious crack just below the red led. However I will not be sending my Mavic to DJI as I have had horrible experience with them with Phantom 3's and I don't want someone else's junk. Dji won't go after "authorized " dealers representing themselves as US dealers, who it turned...
