IMO, if you're strapped for the money, sell it for 60-70% of new (new has a warranty and option to buy a 2 year Care Refresh), whereas someone buying a used one, probably does not have that. If you don't need the money, keep it as your alternate/backup drone. I'm sure you've seen plenty of...

For those of you who think FAA never intended RID to be available to the general public, watch this video to the end. FAA official statement; RID is available to everyone.

No, its a M3P. There would be a way to add room for prop strap is I didn't want to carry an iPad and landing pad in the lower section. But I chose this Symic case so I could. I'll probably use a velcro strap; no issues with that.

Nope. The drone is already bottomed out in the hard case. No foam there to trim; only a very thin (maybe 1/8" pad in the bottom of the case..

The problem with this one is if you bought a Symic or similar hard case for the M3P, prop protector raises it up too high, when placed in the hard case, such that closing the lid puts a lot of pressure on the drone. I received this one yesterday, and it's going back on Monday.

You may need to go into the DJI app and click "re-pair", to re-establish the controller with the drone.

Mine are stored right in the charger hub. I have not discovered any drain on any of them, when left stored in the hub. One stored with only 2 or of 4 led's (50% charge), and others always stored full charge. Always the same as they were,, when I return to use them. DJI states that it is a...

Exceptions: If you have something (RV, boat, drone, etc.) or are doing some activity that is not prohibited by the rules in place when you bought your home, then would be "Grandfathered"; e.g. not prohibited, while others joining the community after that new rule was added, would be.

Sorry about that. This is what I intended to post. Drones over you property; do you own the airspace? Suggest this video be shown to the HOA. Maybe the board of governors right away, and also at the next HOA meeting.

Yes, I thought I explained, but may not have articulated my thoughts well enough. I was talking about the Part 107 test for currently licensed manned aircraft pilots; e.g., I am a licensed private pilot already, and may be interested in adding a 107 certification. There is an on-line, no cost...

Well the way it is now, you can take all the time you want, for training, but once you click the blue link to take the test, you have 90 minutes to complete and submit, and be 100% correct on all questions, or you get to do it over. Still worth doing, but I haven't flown for a couple years, so...

Is is. I'm logged in with my credentials, but don't have time right now to start the test, (wife has to go to the ortho surgeon again today). But when I have a clear schedule, I'll get on it. Thanks again. Thumbswayup

Yes, thanks. I had found the same link, and proceeded to the Part 61 link. I appreciate your help.

I did find this: "Anyone who is already a licensed manned aircraft pilot can skip the Part 107 exam. That said, part 61 certificate holders will have to complete a free, online training course titled “Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) ALC-451.” You can find these resources at the...

I've web-searched and looked over on FAA's websites, for a link to FAA on-line test, Part107 certification, and haven't found anything. Anyone here have a link that works?
