And that design looks brilliant! My biggest concern is removing it should I get the urge to swap it out or bring the drone back to original. I found some neat automotive wraps in the usual gloss and semi gloss carbon fiber and chameleon to practice with and I took your advice and ordered some...

Hi all, My son picked up a Cricut Explore Air 2 and we want to start doing our own skins. Anyone have any recommendations/suggestions for printable vinyl or factory made stuff (like carbon fiber etc.)? I jumped the gun a bit and bought templates for the Air 2 and Mini 3 Pro. 3M seems to be very...

One could always look on Aliexpress and pick up a 1/2 dozen sticks for next to nothing. They run about 2.25 cad shipped per pair for almost exact copies of the 18.00 originals. I bought some for just in case moments and no longer worry about being stuck without. Takes up less space than anything...

Just curious....I thought the Air 2s wouldn't even lift off in an airport zone. No excuse for that bonehead. Before I bought my first drone, I had already read the rules and passed the exam. Surely an example of more money than brains. This town is full of I-Me-My people where self gratification...

Welcome from shhhh (Ottawa). My folks are in Edmonton as well. They've been cursing the smoke for some time now. I hope it finally lets up for you guys. My son bought the Mini 3 and when I saw I immediately grew envious. Like you, I studied and got the basic ticket before I got my drone. I found...

I've been patiently waiting for their Android version to incorporate geo fencing too! Maybe it's time to get over my aversion to IOS

I apologize as I'm not yet a user of the Master Air Screw props. Just thinking about it, at the prices that are being charged, why not include a screw that incorporates a threadless top third? A partially threaded screw can be had for a few pennies. Even though they would tighten over time...

I'm finding my eye sight not as good as I imagined it and almost lost my Air 2 on it's maiden flight a short while ago. Thank God for Mavic Pilots and the information here. Anyways, I searched available skins here in N. America and nothing grabbed me as much as the old NY City Checker Cab design...

Howard, thanks for the hand landing tips. I can see the ski type legs would be easier to grasp. What kind of skin do you have there? It sure looks great and I bet the visibility is fantastic. I ordered some that are coming soon but opted for yellows.

It does kinda look like a crab! Now that that's imprinted on my brain...I should have bought the all grey legs :) In regard to being tippy, on a flat surface it's pretty stable and when the legs are unfolded they click into place really well. Being plastic, they'll probably wear out after...

Hi everyone, As a new pilot I did a whack of reading before getting my drone. The thing that got to me a lot was the price of a replacement gimbal and camera and how fragile they are. I took it to heart and immediatly ordered some of these legs and then a landing pad. I've seen these advertised...

Thank you LoudThunder for the *very* informative post. I just had a peek at the member map as I hadn't even realized it was there. Really cool! Its a far cry from my old php forum way back when. In regard to the Canuck rules, I wrote my basic exam before I even had the drone :) Apart from the...

I believe the width of a Canuck football field is 65 yards. I'm guessing time of day and environment make all the difference. Personally I have a hard time discerning whether the drone is coming or going and rely on Fly to see it's positioning at that distance. Yes! I need new glasses :) In...

Hi everyone, Just popped in to say hello. My son recieved a Mini 3 Pro from his other half for his birthday so I Just *had* to be able to go flying with him (thats what I told my wife). I picked up a new Mavic Air 2 Fly more combo for a very good deal here in Ottawa. This past Saturday was my...
